About Yvette
Yvette Simmons is a counsellor who focuses on helping adults manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers straightforward, empathetic support and aims to help people feel heard. Sessions are delivered online or by phone, which many clients find easier to fit into busy lives.
Her practice emphasises listening first. Yvette uses a client-centred style, meeting each person where they are and following their pace. She draws on solution-focused ideas too, helping people spot practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Yvette has six years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with common concerns such as low mood, self-esteem, relationship stress and workplace issues. She also supports people dealing with addictions, career dilemmas and the stresses of student life.
Many of her clients bring issues around body image, feelings of emptiness, guilt or isolation, or questions about life purpose and self-love. Yvette aims to create a calm space where these things can be talked through without judgement. She uses the client’s own strengths as a starting point for change.
Practical help may include simple goal-setting, coping strategies for anxious moments and ways to rebuild confidence. The focus is on clear, achievable steps rather than technical jargon. Yvette works in English and accepts international clients for online work.
How Yvette’s approaches translate to online work
Yvette uses client-centred listening to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on understanding what matters to the individual and offering empathy and non-judgement so they can talk openly. It helps with anxiety, low mood and issues that feel overwhelming by allowing the person to set the pace.She also draws on solution-focused techniques that look for practical, short-term steps. These ideas help people try small experiments between sessions, build confidence and track what works. Solution-focused work is useful for specific problems like stress, workplace issues or studying pressures.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Yvette collaborates with each person to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, best fits their goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping therapy practical and focused.
