About Yvette
Yvette Ibbotson helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. She greets callers with calmness and clear intention. Her style is gentle and focused on the person in front of her.
Yvette has over three years of experience working with a variety of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, so people leave with something they can try between meetings.
How Yvette works
Conversations are paced to match each person's comfort and energy. She practises from a person-centred stance, which means the client’s views guide the work. Yvette listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people notice patterns and options.
This approach suits people who want to be understood first and make changes at a steady pace. Sessions can also address communication problems, commitment worries, grief from divorce or separation, feelings of emptiness, and guilt or shame. She frames these topics in everyday language and prioritises clarity about next steps.
The aim is realistic progress rather than quick fixes. Yvette speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP, and brings a warm, practical presence to each session.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Yvette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward way. One common strand is person-centred work, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters to them; this often helps with low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship worries. Another useful approach is short-term problem-focused work where sessions target clear goals and practical strategies for coping with stress, chronic illness or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvette will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, prompts between sessions or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and busy days.
