Yvette Ibbotson , BACP

Yvette Ibbotson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, low self-esteem and big life changes. She holds a BACP credential, and brings three years of practice to conversations about everyday pressures and emotional strain.

Yvette offers a calm, listening approach that keeps the client in charge of the pace and direction. Sessions are rooted in person-centred counselling, so she focuses on hearing each person's experience and responding without judgment. The aim is to help people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways to move forward.

In sessions she will give space to talk about attachment and abandonment worries, body image or issues tied to ageing and health. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, divorce, commitment doubts and communication problems. Yvette uses straightforward conversation to work through guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness.

Her style is warm and encouraging, with an emphasis on practical coping and clearer communication in relationships. People can expect to explore small, achievable steps alongside chance to reflect on deeper patterns.

Yvette works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and is open to international clients. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the site's booking options.

Approaches and online therapy options

Yvette works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a person-centred foundation. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace to help people feel heard and understood; it suits concerns like anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem. She also draws on approaches that help with attachment and abandonment issues by looking at relationship patterns and practical ways to improve communication and boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try different ways of working and adjust the approach if it does not feel helpful. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and hold a more conversational session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
