Yolande Dewar, BACP

Yolande Dewar is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of professional therapeutic experience to her practice. She combines clinical skill with a warm, empathic manner to help people navigate stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and depression, guiding each person at a pace that suits them.

Her practice focuses on supporting clients as they explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours connected to the challenges they face. Yolande aims to create a respectful and nonjudgmental environment where clients can consider new perspectives and practical ways to cope. She supports people working through major life changes as well as ongoing emotional struggles.

Yolande holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects membership of a professional counselling body in the UK. She typically offers sessions by video and phone chat, and tailors the mode of communication to each client’s needs and preferences.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is a goal-focused approach often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns and helps people build coping skills and problem-solving techniques.

She also works from a warm, empathic, person-focused stance that prioritises listening and understanding. This approach supports clients dealing with grief, relationship challenges and life transitions by creating space to explore emotions and strengthen self-awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Yolande collaborates with each client to find what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She typically offers sessions by video and phone, and also provides live chat and text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow clients to access therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels, while maintaining the same professional therapeutic support they would expect from licensed professionals and therapists.
