About Yvette
Yvette Simmons offers calm, practical support for adults feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She meets people online or by phone and listens without judgement. Her approach is warm and straightforward, helping clients notice what matters and take small steps forward.
Yvette draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting, respectful space. That means she focuses on the person in front of her, using empathy and clear reflection so clients feel heard and understood.
How Yvette works
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify simple, realistic goals and track progress between sessions. Many people come with stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. Others face relationship strain, depressive moods, career worries, addictions or major life changes.
Yvette also pays attention to concerns such as body image, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, and workplace pressures. She has six years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Yvette tailors sessions to each person, working at a pace that feels manageable and practical.
Students in further and higher education are included among those who seek support for exam stress, homesickness, procrastination, debt, gambling or substance use and adapting to study with a long-term illness or disability. Sessions aim to build clarity, strengthen self-regard and find ways forward that fit daily life.

How Yvette’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and acceptance. Online sessions give space for the client to speak and be reflected back, helping them understand their thoughts and feelings more clearly. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low self-worth and situations where people just need to be heard.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is practical and achievable now. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps and on noticing what changes when those steps are tried. This can suit people with stress, career decisions, relationship concerns or those wanting short-term, goal-orientated work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be handled together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods to match the person’s needs. This is a collaborative way to choose what to try next.
Online formats make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls suit in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work where less bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, flexible timing and written reflections to re-read later. These options help people access consistent support from wherever they are.
