Evonne Irvine, NCPS

Evonne Irvine is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and life changes. Evonne also works with issues such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and career concerns. She uses straightforward language and a calm manner to make difficult conversations easier to start.

Evonne draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person. She uses client-centred work that focuses on what matters to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. She also combines elements of psychodynamic thinking, mindfulness and hypnotherapy where these seem helpful.

Her style is warm and relaxed. Sessions aim to be respectful and paced to each person’s needs. Evonne describes the work as collaborative - she listens first, then agrees on small steps to try.

Evonne holds the NCPS credential and has three years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. That background informs how she structures sessions and supports people through emotional difficulty.

People often come to her wanting help with feeling stuck, coping after loss, repairing communication or finding more balance at home and work. She encourages honest conversation about goals and practical ways to move forward.

How Evonne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Evonne uses client-centred work that focuses on what the person wants from therapy. This approach means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another part of her practice and involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical techniques to change patterns that are causing distress. Hypnotherapy is sometimes used as a tool to support relaxation and to work with deeper habits or responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Evonne will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work, caring duties and daily life. Online work can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and keep therapy consistent when life gets busy. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists usually adapt the approach to suit the online setting and the client’s needs.
