About Yvette

Yvette Ibbotson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. She draws on three years of professional experience and aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable. Her work is rooted in person-centred counselling.

That means she listens closely and follows the pace each person needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, not on a fixed agenda or rushed outcomes.

Background and approach

Yvette creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. She pays attention to practical coping strategies as well as emotional understanding. This can include working on communication, boundaries, or ways to manage stress day to day.

She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Work may touch on guilt, shame, forgiveness, commitment worries, or feelings of emptiness. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Yvette uses a collaborative style and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Her practice aims to be approachable and down to earth for people seeking help with life’s difficult moments.

How Yvette uses talking therapies online

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their experiences. It is about being heard and building insight at a pace that feels right, useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Practical coping work involves simple strategies to manage stress and anxiety day to day. This can include breathing or grounding techniques, planning small changes, and practising clearer communication for relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Yvette works collaboratively to decide which ways of working fit best with each person’s goals and preferences. She discusses options and adapts sessions as needs change so clients feel involved in the choices made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments and help maintain continuity of support.
