About Evonne
Evonne Ungate BACP has 16 years of counselling experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers support for a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Evonne uses a client-centred approach alongside solution-focused and mindfulness practices. She describes her style as interactive and respectful. She aims to avoid stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity while keeping conversations practical and direct.
In sessions she invites people to talk about current problems and to identify small, achievable steps. Solution-focused work focuses on what helps now and what can be done differently tomorrow. Client-centred elements mean the counsellor follows the client’s concerns and pace rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and to reduce emotional reactivity. These are offered as simple exercises that can be practised between meetings when helpful.
Evonne has experience working in schools with children and young adults as well as in private practice with adults. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive concerns, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, and mood disorders.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches apply to online counselling
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, asks clarifying questions and supports the client to set the pace. This approach can help with issues where people need space to speak about relationships, loss or low mood.Solution-focused work is brief and goal-oriented. It concentrates on steps that make a difference now and on identifying exceptions to problems. This is useful for coping with stress, career questions, midlife concerns and practical relationship changes.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. These practices can support anxiety management, mood regulation and responses to trauma when used alongside talking therapy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide whether a client-centred, solution-focused or mindfulness emphasis is most helpful. This is a collaborative process that may change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions are that they can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend from different locations. Some formats allow shorter check-ins, while others support longer conversations and guided mindfulness practice.
