Yvette Ibbotson, BACP

Yvette Ibbotson is a UK-based therapist with 3 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and life transitions. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including issues around attachment, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress, as well as separation, communication problems, and the emotional impact of major life changes.

Her practice is grounded in person-centred counselling, a way of working that recognises the client as the expert on their own life and prioritises empathy, respect, and genuine understanding. Yvette combines a warm, non-judgmental stance with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s goals and pace. She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional membership that reflects her training and commitment to professional standards. Yvette offers a supportive environment in which clients can explore thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that suits them.

Person-Centred and Evidence-Based Support Online

Yvette uses person-centred counselling, a collaborative, listening-focused approach that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore feelings, values, and choices. This style is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions.

She also draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical coping skills and improving communication and problem-solving. These approaches can be helpful for managing stress, anxiety, caregiving pressures, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or major life changes.

Deciding which approach will help most is part of the therapeutic process. Yvette works together with clients to identify priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as goals evolve, so therapy reflects each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Yvette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options allow clients to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations while working with registered professionals and therapists.
