About

About Yvette

Yvette White is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on psychological approaches to help people manage mood, relationships and parenting concerns. Yvette aims to make sessions practical and down to earth so people can use what they learn straight away.

Her style is calm and direct. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside mindfulness to help slow racing thoughts and reduce overwhelm.

Background and approach

She also brings attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and closeness issues are part of the problem. Yvette supports people dealing with grief, trauma and long-term health or caregiving strain, as well as those coping with career shifts and compassion fatigue. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, panic, sleep problems and intimacy-related issues.

Parenting is one of the areas she regularly helps people address, focusing on manageable changes that fit everyday family life. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small, practical steps. Yvette aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses in day-to-day situations.

Mindfulness exercises and behavioural techniques are used alongside reflective conversation. People who prefer a collaborative and structured approach often find her helpful. She offers a steady presence and practical strategies for navigating difficult emotions and relationship strain.

The overall emphasis is on what can be changed now, and on building coping skills that last.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts while focusing on personal values and small committed actions. It can help when worry, avoidance or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into manageable parts and offers practical experiments to try between sessions, which can reduce panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand why they react certain ways with others, which can be useful for intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and then suggest a mix of methods that suit those needs. Sessions adapt over time so the plan changes if something isn't helpful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is based and are good for deeper work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, emotional support between sessions and people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
