About Yolande
Yolande Dewar helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, and struggles with self-esteem or life direction. Yolande is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and empathic. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens without judgement and helps clients spot small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. She breaks down problems into manageable steps and works with clients to try new ways of coping. That approach is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and obsessive or compulsive thinking.
She also supports people dealing with more complex issues such as trauma, dissociation, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue. Yolande pays attention to individual circumstances like autism or blended family dynamics when planning work together. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People choose formats that fit their life and needs. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session slot that suits them.

Approaches Yolande 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
She focuses on practical steps during sessions, such as setting small behavioural goals, trying different coping techniques, and noticing how thinking habits affect feelings. This way of working is collaborative - the therapist and client choose what to try based on the person's goals, needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
