About Yolande

Yolande Dewar is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression and life changes. She helps with issues linked to intimacy, self-esteem, parenting and caring roles, as well as ADHD and trauma related concerns. Yolande brings 14 years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She works in a warm, empathic style and aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and to try out different ways of coping. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps.

She helps people plan changes, practise new skills and reflect on progress between meetings. For grief and loss the work can include remembering, making sense of feelings and finding ways to carry on with daily life. Yolande is experienced supporting people with eating and sleeping difficulties, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks and compassion fatigue.

She also offers help with money worries, career concerns and finding life purpose when things feel stuck. Issues connected to autism and blended family arrangements are included in her focus. People meet Yolande by video calls or phone sessions and can choose text-based messaging or live chat where that fits better.

She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

Ways of working Yolande names

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How CBT and online sessions can help

Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try out different responses and build skills to manage anxiety, low mood and panic attacks. It lends itself to practical exercises that can be done between sessions. She combines a gentle, empathic approach with goal-focused work so people feel heard while also making small changes. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use, and can adapt the plan as progress is made or needs shift. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel and for working through exercises together. Phone sessions can fit around busy days or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring or travel commitments and to choose a style of communication that feels comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same focused CBT work online as in-person, while tailoring pace and tools to each person's situation.
