Yolande Dewar helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship strain. She supports people struggling with sleep, eating, self-esteem and life changes. Her work also covers ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns.
Yolande takes a warm, empathic approach. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people make sense of what is happening. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
The tone is calm and down to earth.
Background and approach
Her main therapeutic method is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT. That means she and the client look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Together they try out new ways of responding and track what helps.
Yolande has 14 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She works with a wide range of life concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, career questions and issues related to identity and LGBT matters. She also supports people dealing with compulsions, panic and dissociation.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Yolande prefers straightforward, collaborative work and tailors her approach to each person. She aims to help people regain stability and find clearer next steps.
To begin, a short questionnaire matches people to a therapist and then a session can be scheduled according to availability. Yolande practises from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours.Yolande also uses practical problem-solving within sessions to tackle issues like sleep, eating problems and coping with life changes. This involves setting short tasks between sessions and reviewing what worked to build better routines and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yolande will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals. That may mean focusing on thought patterns one week and on behavioural experiments the next, depending on what helps most.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy schedules, while keeping the focus on progress and day-to-day change.
