Yvette Smit

"Hello. I’m Yvette, and I’m a Registered Counsellor here on Ollie Health. My scope of practice encompasses a wide range of short-term interventions aimed at enhancing and supporting your psychosocial wellbeing and personal functioning. We all experience times when our ability to cope with what is happening in our lives is challenged, and simply put, we need help. In my counseling space, I foster a validating and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to confront your challenges and initiate positive change. Drawing from a strong background in cognitive-behavioural theories (CBT), attachment theory, and developmental psychology, I approach counseling with curiosity about what makes us think, feel, and behave the way we do. This type of inquiry not only leads to increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence but also equips us to take charge of our wellbeing from an informed and empowered position and to navigate challenging times with grace. This kind of self-knowledge sets one up for a life of awareness and growth, and is the most valuable investment you can make for yourself as well as those you care for. I invite you to lean in and see where safe self-discovery can take you. I look forward to joining you on your journey.
