Yvette Ibbotson, BACP

Yvette Ibbotson is a United Kingdom-based therapist with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and major life changes. She works from a person-centred counselling perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own life and that therapy is most effective when it honours the client’s pace and perspective. Yvette aims to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood, and she adapts sessions to reflect each person’s individual needs and goals.

In practice she walks alongside clients as they explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be holding them back, offering empathy and encouragement while helping them build practical coping strategies. Yvette holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional standards and ongoing development. Whether someone is navigating relationship issues, adjusting to life transitions, or managing stress and self-esteem concerns, she offers steady support aimed at personal growth and clearer decision-making.

Yvette is available to work with clients internationally and provides flexible session formats to fit different lifestyles and needs.

Person-centred care and evidence-based techniques online

Yvette primarily practices person-centred counselling, a collaborative approach that focuses on creating an empathetic and non-judgmental space where the client’s experiences guide the work. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and make changes at a pace that feels right for them. She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques - practical methods informed by research that aim to develop coping skills, improve communication, and address patterns that contribute to stress or low self-esteem. These techniques are applied in a way that complements a person-centred stance and are tailored to the individual’s concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yvette works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as the relationship and understanding deepen. The aim is a good fit rather than a predetermined pathway.

Online therapy with Yvette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and busy lives while allowing sessions to fit into day-to-day routines.
