Psychotherapist Yvonne Coughlan (my pronouns are She/Her)

I have been working with clients for over 20 years and I am passionate about enabling clients to find a positive way forward in their lives. 

I provide a warm, empathic and friendly approach, where clients feel comfortable talking about their difficulties. I work with clients on a long-term basis offering Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. 

Prior to my training, I worked in the corporate sector and consequently have a good knowledge of the issues that can present themselves in this industry. Since my training, I have specialised in working with clients suffering from work-related issues. I have worked for several EAPs and have a solid understanding of issues that arise in the NHS, government and corporate sectors. I am able to look at the links between what is going on in the present and how it is often linked to something traumatic in the past. I can enable clients to make significant changes in their day-to-day lives. 

I also work with a number of trainee psychotherapists and university students. This is an area I have a lot of knowledge in as I started my work with young adults both during and post-training. 

Further to my longer-term work, I also offer some Shorter-Term Integrative Counselling, where I predominately work with clients using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution Focused Counselling.
