About Yvette
Yvette Simmons is a counsellor who aims to help adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or low. She offers a calm place to talk through stress, anxiety, depression and questions about identity or purpose. Yvette uses kindness, careful listening and respect to help people feel heard and understood.
She works online and by phone, focusing on the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Yvette draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to spot practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most now and what small changes could make life easier. She pays attention to strengths and values, and helps clients notice options they may have missed. Conversations may cover work stress, relationships, body image, addictions, self-esteem, or feelings of emptiness.
Yvette has six years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as a core professional credential. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers work with adult students and young adults navigating study-related pressures as well as people managing mood disorders and life changes. She speaks English and is available to work with international clients.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and are scheduled to suit the individual’s needs. If someone is unsure how to start, Yvette encourages a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to see whether her way of working feels right.

Approaches Yvette lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps that move things forward. Sessions identify small, achievable goals and activities that can be tried between meetings to build momentum. This method often suits people who want concrete changes for stress, workplace issues or coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvette will discuss what feels helpful and tailor the mix of listening and practical planning to the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the aims and pace of therapy.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing brief support. These options help people fit counselling around study, work and family commitments.
