Yolande Dewar, BACP

Yolande Dewar is a UK-licensed therapist with 14 years of professional experience who offers a warm, empathic approach to supporting people through stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and depression. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards and ongoing development.

Yolande creates a safe and private space where clients can explore their concerns and work through challenging emotions at a pace that feels right for them. Her style is grounded in empathy and attentive listening, helping individuals to clarify their goals and find practical ways to cope with life changes. She often combines structured techniques with compassionate support to help clients gain insight and build resilience.

Yolande prefers to meet with clients by video and phone chat, offering accessible remote sessions for those who find in-person meetings difficult. Prospective clients can expect a calm, supportive environment in which issues are explored collaboratively and treatment is tailored to each person’s needs.

CBT and Empathic Support for Online Care

Yolande Dewar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching strategies for coping and problem solving.

Alongside CBT, Yolande brings a warm, empathic style to online work that prioritises listening and understanding. This supportive stance helps clients feel heard while they explore difficult emotions and develop personal goals, making the therapeutic process collaborative and client-led.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Yolande will work together with each client to determine whether structured CBT, supportive conversation, or a mix of both best suits their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals tailor methods to individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Yolande is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support from wherever a client is based in the United Kingdom.
