Yvonne Noone
Training, qualifications and experience
I am on my fifth and final year of training in the Wellbeing Faculty at The Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE). I am completing my studies for a Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Therapeutic Counselling. I have qualified as a Child Therapeutic Wellbeing Practitioner at IATE in the past and I work in this capacity at an academy school in Brixton.
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Drama and Movement Therapy from the Central School of Speech and Drama, and I am committed to working with the creative process in counselling. More recently, I have completed a training in Foundations in Women-Centred Coaching.
I have worked in an educational setting for the last four years, providing support for young people with learning. I have also worked in a school delivering therapeutic counselling. I offer support in the contexts where people ‘live, learn and play’ and within their own world view.
Professionally, I also have 32 years of experience working in the City of London, where I worked as a Senior Relationship Manager and Risk Manager within the Financial sector.
ABOUT THE WAY I WORK
I am a humanistic and integrative therapeutic counselling practitioner, drawing upon several different therapeutic modalities, such as Gestalt, Transaction Analysis, Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory and Affective Neuroscience in my work with a range of clients.
I work in a person-centred way with the creative and relational process offering a space for clients to explore whatever is significant and of meaning and value to them in the session.
Some sessions may predominantly be through talking, having conversations that matter, and others may use creative resources. I support people to explore their own lived experience and develop their own coherent narratives for what has happened to them. I work collaboratively to formulate their aims for the counselling sessions which will be reviewed periodically. I am mindful of trauma-informed principles and quality of care.
This approach can support adults, children and young people to build self-confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, increase emotional regulation, communication skills, resilience and recovery as well as considering meaning, belonging and human potential.
I am a student member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I adhere to their professional standards Ethical Framework for counselling.
