About Yolande
Yolande Dewar is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, intimacy questions, sleep and eating issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Yolande works with people who want practical ways to cope with life changes and to feel steadier day to day.
Yolande takes a warm, empathic approach in sessions. She encourages clear conversation and practical steps rather than medical labels. Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and focus on immediate problems and small changes that can make life easier.
Her main clinical tool is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She uses CBT techniques alongside straightforward discussion to help people spot patterns and try new ways of responding. This can help with low mood, anxiety and panic symptoms, and unhelpful routines around sleep or eating.
Yolande has 14 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her usual ways of meeting people are by video and phone chat, and she asks people to confirm current session options before booking.

How CBT and conversational work translate to online therapy
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT includes practical exercises, simple experiments and thought records to test unhelpful beliefs. It often suits worries, low mood, panic symptoms and routines around sleep or eating.She pairs CBT with a warm, empathic conversational style. That means sessions include talking things through, checking what helps, and agreeing small steps to try between meetings. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a joint process and she will work with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences.
Her biography notes that her preferred ways of meeting people are by video and phone chat. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it easier to attend regularly when sessions slot into everyday routines.
