About Pippa
Pippa Youngs is a PACFA counsellor with seven years' experience offering person-centred therapy. She creates a calm, compassionate space where people can speak freely about what is worrying them. Her manner is warm and respectful and she aims to help clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
Pippa has supported people through grief and major life changes. She has also helped those facing ongoing stress, anxiety and the effects of past trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She works with common struggles that are hard to name, like isolation, guilt, shame and questions about life purpose. Her practice is integrative, which means she adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single fixed method.
Sessions focus on what the client needs right now, whether that is practical coping strategies, talking through painful memories, or building self-compassion and self-esteem. Pippa spends time listening to where someone is at and what they want to change. She then helps people set realistic goals and choose small steps toward them.
Therapy is conversational and collaborative, with plenty of space for reflection and feedback. People who prefer a gentle, steady style tend to find her approach useful. She offers a supportive presence while helping clients build tools to manage anxiety, process grief, and cope with life transitions.
Her work aims to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on dignity and respect.
Approach and online options for working through anxiety
Two common ways Pippa works are through person-centred listening and an integrative method that draws on evidence-based techniques. Person-centred listening means the session focuses on your experience, with the counsellor reflecting and asking gentle questions to help you clarify what matters. The integrative approach adapts techniques to your needs and might include practical coping strategies for anxiety, ways to process grief, or exercises that build self-compassion and self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pippa will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then suggest options and try different ways of working together. This collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps the person, rather than following a single technique from the start.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face conversation when you can set aside time. Phone sessions can suit people who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations.
