About Yvette
Yvette Ibbotson helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. She presents a calm, patient presence and keeps sessions simple and focused. Many clients come with worries about communication, commitment, grief, or feeling stuck, and she helps them find clearer ways forward.
She has three years of experience working with adults and is based in the United Kingdom. Yvette practises in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That registration reflects a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Her style is person-centred, which means she listens first and follows the client’s pace. Sessions prioritise being heard and understood before moving on to practical steps.
Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and manage. Practical concerns such as coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, changes related to ageing, and the emotional impact of cancer are among the issues she addresses. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and separation or divorce.
Therapy is conversational and collaborative. Yvette focuses on improving everyday coping, communication, and decision-making. She adapts the approach to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients for online work. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is treated as a partnership. The therapist will discuss options with each person, try different ways of working, and adapt based on what feels most useful. This collaborative process means the style of sessions can shift as goals change or new issues come up.
Online therapy offers a range of flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and suit longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sittings or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
