About Yolande

Yolande Dewar is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports those dealing with sleep or eating struggles, low self-esteem, parenting strain and career concerns. She also works with issues linked to ADHD, LGBT matters, and compassion fatigue.

Yolande takes a warm, empathic approach in sessions. She uses clear, practical steps so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, informs much of her work. With 14 years' experience in the United Kingdom, she draws on that background to offer steady, focused support.

She aims to make conversations straightforward and relevant to everyday life. People leave sessions with simple, actionable ideas to practise. Yolande offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit differing needs.

These formats let people choose what works best for rhythm and convenience. She encourages clients to pick the method they find easiest to use. Her practical focus includes help for panic, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, relationship commitment worries, and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence.

She also supports those exploring life purpose, money worries and caregiver stress. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, usually called CBT, which is a problem-solving approach. It helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety, panic or low mood. Sessions often include clear steps and practice tasks to do between meetings.

The work is collaborative. The therapist and client agree what to focus on and try different ways of working to find what helps most. Yolande will check in about progress and adjust the approach based on the person's goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation help. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging fits people who prefer shorter check-ins or to write things down as they go. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to keep therapy consistent over time.
