Yvonne Coughlan

London, England

Yvonne Coughlan

MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalytic Studies, University College London and Post Graduate Advanced Clinical Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (4 years), WPF Therapy Kensington (FPC)
Years in practice: 20
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My approach is warm and thoughtful, placing my clients at ease in opening up sometimes for the first time about their personal feelings and experineces. I predominately offer a psychodynamic approach which is particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. My approach is based on the understanding that difficult experiences in the past can continue to affect the way you feel in the present. In the therapeutic relationship, we can start to explore and recognise the reasons why the things that make you unhappy seem to be repeating themselves.

‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’

The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for.

I will always meet you with unconditional positive regard, helping you to explore and navigate towards new insights and perspectives which can bring about a better way of relating to yourself, others or situations which you may find challenging.

First-Class BA (Hons) in Counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Newham University Centre and First-Class MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy, Manchester University
Years in practice: 10

We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.
