About Yvette
Yvette Litchfield is a psychotherapist based in Australia who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family problems. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and meets people where they are. Her style is calm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
Yvette uses a person-centred approach that treats each client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She pays careful attention to trauma and the ways past harm can shape present responses. Her background includes seven years practising in Australia and clinical work with people facing abuse and complex emotional challenges. She also supports those struggling with attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and the ripple effects of family-of-origin problems.
Yvette draws on this experience to offer steady, thoughtful support. People who work with her can expect an empathetic presence and a collaborative pace. Conversations are led by the client's goals and comfort, with the therapist offering reflections and options rather than prescriptions.
The aim is to build on existing strengths and to find clearer ways to manage intense feelings. Reaching out can feel hard, and Yvette frames that first step as an act of courage. She encourages practical, manageable changes and stays alongside clients as they try new strategies and make sense of difficult experiences.
Client-centred approaches and online therapy options
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of every session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress and relationship concerns because it supports people to make changes that feel right for them.Yvette also works with trauma-aware principles that recognise how past hurt can shape current feelings and reactions. This means sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on safety, grounding and practical coping strategies when strong emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and choose techniques that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and comfort change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need more frequent brief contact or want to work without being on camera. These options help make therapy fit around work, family and life commitments.
