Yolande Dewar, BACP

Yolande Dewar is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She offers a calm, warm presence for people who need a steady person to talk things through.

Yolande uses clear, practical ways of working. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. Sessions focus on day-to-day steps that can ease symptoms and improve coping over time.

She has 14 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. This background shapes a straightforward style - practical tools, plain language and an emphasis on what can be tried between sessions. People leave with simple techniques to practice in their lives.

Yolande works from the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She conducts sessions in English. For anyone who needs support around caregiving stress, blended family issues or trauma recovery, she offers focused attention on those themes.

To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. The subscription model can be cancelled at any time, with session costs varying by location and therapist availability.

How CBT and online sessions can help with everyday struggles

Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, panic symptoms, OCD-type worries and problems like disturbed sleep by giving straightforward techniques to practise day to day.

She blends that practical work with a calm, empathic approach so sessions are collaborative. Together client and counsellor look at what matters most, try an approach for a while, and adjust it if needed. Finding the right fit is part of the process and she will help you decide which techniques suit your goals and life.

Her biography notes a preference for video and phone chat, so check the current session options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular follow-up and homework review simpler, so techniques learned in session can be practised between meetings.
