About Yolande
Yolande Dewar helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She supports those facing grief and life changes, as well as people dealing with intimacy-related worries and self-esteem concerns. Parents feeling overwhelmed and professionals facing compassion fatigue can find practical ways to cope.
Yolande also works with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, panic, OCD-style concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She uses a warm, direct style in sessions and keeps conversations straightforward.
How Yolande works
People can expect clear explanations and simple exercises to try between meetings. The aim is to make small changes that add up to better day-to-day coping. Yolande draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build different ways of responding.
Over 14 years she has supported people through divorce and separation, domestic violence, dissociation, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps with practical problems like money worries, hoarding behaviours, and the strain of caring for others. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, and commitment concerns.
Yolande is a BACP practitioner in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Sessions are part of a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and the cost varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, fills in a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions based on therapist availability. Yolande aims for a collaborative process so people feel able to set the pace and focus of their work together.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT is practical and goal-focused, with tasks to try between sessions that help reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Yolande will discuss goals and preferences and adapt CBT to fit the person she is working with. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work develops.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in during a break, and messaging suits ongoing, written reflections. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or study commitments.
