About Yolande
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience, Yolande Dewar helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She also supports those dealing with life changes, parenting pressures, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach.
Yolande uses straightforward conversation and CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Sessions focus on small, measurable steps. She aims to make things manageable rather than overwhelming.
People often come with immediate problems such as panic, sleep or eating difficulties, or longer standing issues like trauma, attachment and obsessive thinking. Yolande also works with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and financial worries.
Her background includes many years of one-to-one work with adults. The BACP credential is listed as her professional registration. She is based in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
Practical matters are kept clear. She offers video and phone chat as her preferred ways to communicate, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.
Yolande keeps sessions focused on current goals. She works collaboratively to set aims and reviews progress regularly. If CBT techniques do not fit, she adjusts the approach to better match what the person needs.

How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect
CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. In practice this means discussing specific situations, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and trying small changes between sessions. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep and obsessive thinking. When trauma or relationship strain is involved, CBT techniques might be combined with supportive conversation to focus on coping skills and gradual problem-solving. The therapist will outline practical exercises and review how they worked at the next meeting. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT methods fit their needs and goals. If a different way of working seems more useful, she will adapt the plan together with the person. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography specifies video and phone chat as preferred communication methods but session options can change. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to provide regular, goal-focused work that fits into everyday life.Sheet 3
