About Yolanda
She uses a person-centred, experiential approach that pays attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. That means sessions may include talking, noticing physical responses, and simple exercises to help manage anxiety and regulation. Yolanda often suggests short, practical strategies people can use between meetings.
Yolanda has several years' experience working in a hospice setting supporting people through bereavement and terminal illness. She has seen how counselling can help people process complex emotions after loss and rebuild a sense of understanding and resilience.
Her work also covers relationship worries, parenting strains, anger, addiction-related problems and challenges with self-esteem and identity. She is comfortable addressing attachment concerns, caregiving stress and issues tied to ageing and illness. Sessions begin by clarifying what the person wants to achieve and agreeing on a plan for treatment.
Yolanda follows continued professional development and regular supervision as part of her practice. She usually suggests reviewing progress after four to six sessions so the person and counsellor can agree next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Yolanda commonly combines Attachment‑Based ideas, Client‑Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people make sense of difficult emotions and respond differently to stress. Attachment‑Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current feelings. Client‑Centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear steps and practical techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals, needs and preferences, and she reviews progress together to adjust the plan as required.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also allows people to access support from wherever they are in the United Kingdom while still working with a registered BACP counsellor to address grief, anxiety and life changes.
