Evonne Ungate, BACP

Evonne Ungate is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and behaviour, and she works with people facing relationship strains, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Her tone is warm and interactive and she avoids stigmatizing labels.

Evonne has practised for 16 years across schools and private practice in the United Kingdom. She brings that breadth of experience to sessions, adapting the pace and style to each person. She uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations are shaped around what matters most to the person in front of her.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people spot small changes that build into bigger shifts. Mindfulness tools are drawn on to help manage stress, anxiety and difficult emotions by grounding attention in the present. Sessions aim to be practical and easy to apply between meetings.

Evonne lists many concerns she supports, including relationship difficulties, grief, caregiver stress, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues around identity, intimacy and life purpose. She describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, aiming to empower people rather than label them.

Evonne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people follow the site Start Therapy steps to match and schedule with her.

Practical approaches for online care and everyday habits

Evonne commonly draws on client-centred therapy, mindfulness therapy and solution-focused work to guide online conversations. Client-centred therapy means the session follows what the person brings, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting what matters most. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention exercises and grounding practices to help manage stress, anxiety and overwhelming feelings. Solution-focused therapy focuses on small, practical changes and on identifying steps that build clearer routines and habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Evonne works collaboratively to decide which combination of these methods suits the person's goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and techniques as progress is reviewed, so the plan changes if something feels unhelpful.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to use mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings to reinforce everyday habit changes.
