Yvonne Dryburgh

I work flexible hours face to face, online or over the phone. 

Hi my name is Yvonne and I am a fully qualified and registered Â鶹ԭ´´ counsellor.

As each person is unique, so will be the way we work together. I am an integrative counsellor which means I bring together elements of different therapeutic approaches to make sure your therapy is tailored to you.

I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space so you can explore and understand any emotional difficulties or concerns.

I work with a range of issues such as (but not restricted to) anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem/confidence, depression, eating disorders, sexual violence/domestic violence, ACE's, work/relationship difficulties and so much more. 

I also provide specialist trauma informed therapy which takes into consideration the complex impact of trauma on an individual and how it affects a person’s ability to cope. It can make all the difference to a person's mental health and well-being. Trauma therapy prioritises emotional and physical safety and allows us to move forward at a pace you feel comfortable with. If you would like to know more please get in touch. 

I chose to qualify as a counsellor after experiencing mental health issues and trauma which had led to emotional and psychological difficulties. Somebody came into my life at the right time and helped me on the road to recovery.  It was through this recovery I discovered that not only was healing possible but the journey itself was one of strength and empowerment. What I learned along the way enabled me to free myself from the trauma and take back control of my life.  This experience has inspired me to want to help others and I hope by sharing my story it will embolden others to reach out and seek help whether it be from myself or from someone else.
