About Me

Dr. Yeilding's practice cultivates a space where individuals can gently explore challenges through Compassion Focused CBT. She offers highly individualised therapy, ensuring strategies truly fit your unique needs. You'll gain practical, evidence-based tools and insights, helping you navigate difficulties with greater kindness. This thoughtful blend of compassion and knowledge is ideal for those seeking lasting, gentle change.

Approach

Sessions move from gentle exploration into focused, moment-to-moment work where we map patterns, slow automatic reactions, and cultivate kinder internal responses. In my Irvine office or via secure online sessions I create a steady, predictable rhythm—short skill practices in session, brief between-session experiments, and regular check-ins so therapy fits your life. We use clear, stepwise exercises informed by research to test what helps you feel calmer and more in control. This approach suits adolescents and adults seeking practical, lasting change.
