About Pippa

Pippa Youngs offers person-centred therapy with warmth and steady support. She creates a space where people can be heard and gently guided through what brought them to therapy. Pippa's approach is calm and attentive, aimed at making difficult feelings easier to talk about.

She has seven years of experience helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She also assists those processing trauma, grief and major life changes. Pippa works with issues around self-esteem, guilt and shame, loneliness and finding life purpose.

02

How Pippa works

Pippa is a PACFA counsellor, and she draws on an integrative approach tailored to each person. That means she adapts techniques and pacing to what feels most useful for the individual. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.

In sessions she listens first, and then helps people notice patterns and try small changes. She offers tools to manage overwhelming moments and support for longer term goals like building self-love and clearer priorities. Her style is compassionate, straightforward and patient.

People come to Pippa when they need space to process loss, work through post-traumatic stress, or get help coping with the everyday strain of life. She aims to make therapy accessible and relevant so people can leave with clearer thinking and steadier ways of coping.

Online support options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Pippa uses person-centred work that centres the person’s experience and priorities. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own answers; it suits those needing space to unpack emotions and make sense of hard events.

She also follows an integrative method, bringing together different evidence-based techniques as needed. That might look like teaching breathing or grounding strategies for anxiety, or pacing exposure and coping skills for post-traumatic stress. The integrative stance means techniques are chosen to match the issue and the person’s comfort level.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative way aims to make therapy feel relevant and workable for the person’s life.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring roles and daily life.
