About Yvette

Yvette Simmons is a counsellor who offers online and telephone sessions for adults. She aims to provide a calm, listening space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and focuses on helping people feel heard and understood.

She uses a person-centred style that keeps the client at the heart of the work. That means conversations are led by what the client brings and the therapist follows with empathy and practical reflection.

Background and approach

Yvette also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people spot small changes that lead to clearer next steps. Yvette has six years of experience and is aligned with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and struggle with life changes.

Career pressures, addictions and relationship concerns are also within her areas of focus. She pays attention to issues that often sit underneath other problems, such as body image, shame, loneliness, purpose and multicultural concerns. She also supports people navigating workplace difficulties and challenges linked to young adulthood and student life.

Sessions aim to be practical as well as reflective. Conversations can include exploring values, noticing strengths, and trying small experiments between sessions. The overall focus is to help people regain clarity and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person in charge of the conversation. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and reflection so the client can explore feelings and values at their own pace. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, sadness, uncertainty about life purpose and feelings of emptiness.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer outcomes. Sessions identify strengths and moments of success to build realistic next steps. It works well for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and practical life changes where short-term progress matters.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on ways of working together. That collaboration makes it easier to adapt methods if a different focus would help more.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging suits people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and daily routines, and to maintain continuity when life is changeable.
