About Yolande
Yolande Dewar is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people manage sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She offers calm, approachable support for grief, life changes and parenting strain. Her style is warm and empathic, with steady guidance and practical steps to try between sessions.
Yolande listens first and then works with each person to set small, clear goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to look at thoughts, behaviours and routines that affect mood and rest. Conversations are direct and plain, so people leave with simple actions to try at home.
With 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom, she brings steady clinical background and everyday problem-solving to sessions. She commonly supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Sessions often focus on building routines, reducing worry at night, and coping with emotional triggers. Yolande can help people work through caregiver stress, money worries, career shifts and life purpose questions while keeping sessions practical and focused.
Her approach suits someone who wants clear ideas and a collaborative plan rather than open-ended talking. People who prefer step-by-step strategies for improving sleep, managing panic or reducing compulsive behaviours tend to find this way of working useful.
CBT and practical approaches for online support
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central tool. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings and sleep. It helps with anxiety, panic, low mood and disrupted sleep by teaching practical ways to change patterns.Her sessions mix gentle listening with straightforward exercises. She will work with each person to identify useful strategies and adapt them over time. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on the person's goals and daily routine.
The therapist's biography notes a preference for video and phone chat, but readers should confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. They also allow for shorter check-ins or quieter conversations when needed, and can support people who want to try structured CBT tasks between meetings.
