About Yolande
Yolande Dewar helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains and low mood. She supports those adjusting to life changes and people coping with issues like sleep, eating, attention differences and work stress. She is BACP-registered and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and empathic. Conversations are straightforward and calm. Yolande encourages clear steps and practical tools alongside space to talk about difficult feelings.
Sessions aim to balance problem-solving with emotional support.
Background and approach
Yolande often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, working with thoughts, behaviours and routines that keep problems going. She listens for patterns that make anxiety, low mood or relationship tension worse, then helps clients try different ways of responding. She commonly supports people dealing with trauma, grief and compassion fatigue, and those wrestling with obsessive thoughts or panic.
She also works with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. Yolande prefers video and phone conversations, and asks people to check session options when arranging appointments. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability using the Start Therapy button.
The subscription model can be cancelled at any time.

How Yolande works online
The therapeutic process is collaborative. Yolande will work with each person to decide which approach fits best, based on their goals and what they prefer. That means trying ideas, checking how they feel about them and adjusting the plan over time so it meets practical needs.
Her stated preference is for video and phone conversations, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments. Video allows face-to-face discussion and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when lower bandwidth is needed. Please confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
