Person-centred care and practical techniques online



Yvette combines person-centred counselling with targeted evidence-based techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening with empathy, reflecting clients' experiences, and supporting individuals to find their own solutions; it is helpful for building self-understanding, resilience, and confidence when facing life transitions or low self-esteem. Complementing this, Yvette uses skills-based evidence-informed strategies to help manage stress and anxiety, such as guided problem-solving, pacing, and practical coping tools that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She also applies relational and communication-focused approaches to support clients working through relationship and family issues, helping people improve understanding, set boundaries, and express needs more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Yvette works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review which techniques feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage from home, during work breaks, or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
