Yvette Litchfield, PACFA

Yvette Litchfield welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or the long shadow of past trauma. She keeps things straightforward and calm, listening without judgment and helping people find small, practical steps forward. Her style suits someone who wants a respectful conversation and clear, steady support.

Yvette draws on a client-centred approach that puts each person’s priorities first. She works alongside people to clarify goals, strengthen communication, and find ways to manage anxiety and low mood. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client rather than on jargon or rigid programmes.

With seven years of experience working in Australia, Yvette has helped people navigate family conflict, depression, carers’ stress, relationship and commitment issues, and the effects of abuse. She also offers support for challenges such as body image concerns, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.

Yvette is listed with PACFA and aims to create a steady, compassionate space where people can make sense of tough experiences. She respects each person’s pace and readiness to change, and encourages practical steps that fit everyday life.

If you are considering therapy, Yvette asks people to be honest about their priorities so sessions can focus on what will help most. She works to build clearer communication, reduce overwhelm, and support recovery from painful events.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and partnering with the person. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, checks in about goals, and adapts sessions to what the person says they need. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship concerns, family stress and recovery from traumatic events.

In practice, client-centred work online aims to recreate the same respectful conversation people expect in person. The therapist will ask about priorities, try different ways of working if needed, and agree on short-term goals together. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on the person’s needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of online sessions include greater flexibility to fit therapy into a busy week and fewer barriers around travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules change. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they might fit into your daily routine.
