About Yolande
Yolande Dewar is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. She offers a calm, empathic presence and clear practical steps to manage distress. Sessions commonly use video calls or phone conversations when that suits the client.
With 14 years of experience, Yolande draws on straightforward methods to help people cope with change and restore daily functioning. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving.
Background and approach
The work is practical and focused on habits people can try between sessions. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy worries, parenting strains and career stress. Other areas she helps with include sleep and eating difficulties, panic, obsessive habits, self-harm urges and questions around self-esteem and life purpose.
She offers a steady, non-judgemental space to talk these issues through. Yolande has experience supporting people from LGBT communities, those juggling caregiver stress, and clients concerned about neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Her approach aims to honour each person’s background and to adapt techniques to what feels most useful.
Practicalities are straightforward. Sessions can be by video or phone, and Yolande prefers these formats for conversations. She also works with text-based messaging when that fits a person’s needs.

Approaches Yolande lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Her sessions are collaborative. She works with each person to decide which approach fits best for their needs and goals. That means discussing options, trying techniques in session, and adjusting methods over time as progress or new needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, reflective tasks or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and caring responsibilities, while keeping continuity even when life is busy.
