About Yolanda
Yolanda works in a person-centred, experiential way that pays attention to both feelings and bodily sensations. She uses approaches that include attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people manage thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Sessions often involve talking things through, noticing physical reactions, and trying small practical steps between meetings.
Her background includes several years providing counselling in a hospice setting, where she supported people facing terminal illness and bereavement. That work shaped her approach to grief and loss and to the ripple effects these issues can have across family relationships and daily life.
Yolanda keeps up regular professional development and supervision and holds BACP registration. She recommends an initial block of sessions, often reviewing after four to six meetings to agree next steps. To begin, clients use the site questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Yolanda draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour. This approach can be useful for those dealing with abandonment, intimacy issues or family of origin concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood and to try practical behavioural experiments. Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions to build attention to the present moment and to reduce reactivity to distressing thoughts and physical sensations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first conversations. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences, and reviews progress so the plan can change if needed.
If you are interested in online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online arrangements helpful because they can fit counselling around work, caregiving or daily routines and because some contacts can be shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling and how messages or live sessions are organised when you complete the questionnaire to start.
