Yvette Litchfield, PACFA

Yvette Litchfield is a compassionate psychotherapist practising in Australia who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She supports people facing depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and a range of related concerns such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, and grief from separation or divorce.

Her practice is informed by Client-Centered Therapy and a trauma-aware perspective, which means she works in a non-judgmental, respectful way that positions each person as the expert in their own life. Yvette also works with trauma using EMDR techniques as part of her broader therapeutic toolkit, helping clients to process distress and build resilience at a pace that suits them. She believes in partnering with clients to explore patterns, identify practical coping strategies, and support lasting change.

Yvette holds PACFA credentials - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - which reflects her professional standing within the Australian counselling community. Reaching out for support is an important step, and Yvette approaches that process with warmth, clarity, and a focus on empowering each person toward healing and growth.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Aware Care Online

Yvette uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and collaboration. This approach helps people explore feelings and values at their own pace and is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

She also integrates a trauma-informed perspective, attending to how past hurt and overwhelming experiences affect current wellbeing. This approach prioritizes pacing, emotional safety, and practical coping strategies, and supports work on trauma, abuse, dissociation, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the clinical process. Yvette works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals, try suitable methods, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel. These options allow clients to choose the pace and format that feels most comfortable while engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
