Yolande Dewar, BACP

Yolande Dewar is a United Kingdom based therapist with 14 years of experience who brings a warm, empathic manner to therapeutic work. She supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of life transitions. Her practice also addresses concerns such as ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem and career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Dewar combines structured, evidence-informed methods with a client-centered, understanding style to help clients explore feelings, build coping strategies and set achievable goals. Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs and paced to match each person's priorities.

She commonly works via video and phone sessions and is also able to communicate through live chat or text-based messaging depending on client preference and availability. Prospective clients are invited to complete an initial assessment so that goals and the best working approach can be agreed collaboratively. Dewar aims to create a supportive space where people feel heard and can work toward greater balance and resilience.

CBT and Empathic Support Delivered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and working step by step to replace them with more constructive ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and panic-related difficulties by teaching practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Alongside CBT, Yolande Dewar brings a warm, empathic, client-centered style that prioritises understanding each person's unique experience. This approach supports emotional exploration and helps clients clarify values and goals while applying practical techniques where helpful.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Yolande works with clients to clarify their needs, preferences and goals and will adapt methods so the plan fits the individual rather than expecting a single method to suit everyone.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or the workplace and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change, helping therapy remain accessible and consistent with the client's life.
