About Yolande
Yolande Dewar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and depression, and related life challenges such as parenting strain and work pressure.
Yolande uses straightforward talking and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour. Sessions often involve practical steps to manage anxiety, reduce unhelpful thinking, and try out small changes between meetings. She prefers clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
She works with people facing a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she pays attention to include autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, and difficulties after divorce or separation.
Sessions are currently offered in English and Yolande does not accept international clients. Her practice runs on a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
Yolande prefers video and phone chat as ways to meet. She aims to be clear about what will happen in sessions and to help people make small, practical changes that ease everyday social strain and reduce overwhelming anxiety.
How CBT works online and what to expect
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going, and then testing small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, low mood and obsessive thinking, and it aims for practical tools people can use between sessions.Even with one approach named, finding the right method is a collaborative process. Yolande will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan with the client so the work fits their needs and preferences.
The original biography notes a preference for video and phone chat as ways to meet. If you are unsure which option suits you, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Conversation-based CBT techniques transfer well to video or phone meetings and can be used to address social anxiety, panic and related concerns.
