Azita Yorrick, BACP

Azita Yorrick is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with seven years of professional experience. She has worked in both hospice bereavement services and a secondary school setting, supporting people through loss, stress and relationship strain. Azita aims to make the first steps easier for people who are worried about starting therapy.

Azita uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping clients find their own solutions. She encourages people to notice their existing strengths and to use those strengths when tackling difficult feelings.

Her background includes three years working directly with bereavement in a hospice and four years supporting young adults in a school environment. This mix of settings gives practical experience with grief, anxiety and family-related concerns. She draws on that experience when people want help with self-esteem, communication problems and relationship issues.

People come to Azita for a range of concerns including stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and feelings of isolation or guilt. She also works with issues such as blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and eating and food-related difficulties. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life changes.

Azita invites a collaborative process. She asks questions, listens closely and helps people make sense of their situation. Her goal is to help clients understand themselves more deeply and to build confidence in moving forward.

How client-centred work adapts to online support

Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and helping people explore their own thoughts and feelings. In practice this means the counsellor offers empathic reflection and creates space for the client to lead the conversation, which can be helpful for grief, relationship concerns and low self-esteem.

Azita's experience with bereavement and working in a school informs a calm, patient style that suits people coping with chronic illness, stress or family tensions. The collaborative nature of her approach means she will check in about what methods feel useful and adapt sessions to the person's needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide what feels most helpful based on their situation and preferences. This makes it easier to adjust focus over time, for example shifting from immediate coping to longer-term personal goals.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of support if they are living abroad or travelling, while the counsellor and client agree together how best to meet their aims.
