About Yolande
Yolande Dewar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression and other life changes. Her work also addresses areas such as ADHD, LGBT issues and blended family issues.
She prefers clear, practical talking and planning. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that make life harder and trying out different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break problems into manageable steps and to test new behaviours in day-to-day life.
Yolande will listen to what feels most urgent and then suggest small experiments to try between sessions. She pays attention to how worries affect sleep, eating and everyday routines, and works on straightforward strategies to reduce overwhelm. Conversations aim to be direct and to the point so clients can use what they learn quickly.
She has experience supporting people facing trauma, bereavement, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress and workplace compassion fatigue. The focus can include practical coping skills for panic, obsessive thoughts, distressing memories and self-harm urges, alongside planning for longer-term change.
Sessions are offered in English. If you want to find out how she works with blended household challenges or other family-related pressures, check the online booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session.
CBT and practical approaches for blended household challenges
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT breaks problems into small parts and tests different responses in everyday situations, which can help with anxiety, panic and unhelpful routines.The emphasis is on simple, practical techniques that can be used between sessions. Work may include testing new ways of handling difficult conversations, managing sleep and eating patterns, or breaking cycles of worry. The therapist and client decide together which methods suit the issue and the person's preferences, so the approach is chosen collaboratively rather than assumed.
Her original biography indicates a preference for video and phone chat, but it is best to confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt exercises for remote use and agree a practical plan for follow-up between sessions.
