About Yolanda

Yolanda Frost is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures and relationship concerns. Her practice also covers issues such as addiction, self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue.

Yolanda favours a person-centred, experiential way of working. She pays attention to thoughts and feelings as well as bodily sensations. This combined mind-body focus is used to help people who struggle with nervous-system related anxiety and problems regulating strong emotions.

Her background includes several years providing counselling in a hospice setting. That work informs how she approaches grief and loss, and how she supports people facing bereavement or difficult health news. She describes grief as often complex and unpredictable, and aims to help clients name and work through intense feelings such as anger, resentment or numbness.

Sessions begin with a conversation about what is important to the client and what they hope to achieve. She often suggests reviewing progress after four to six sessions to plan next steps. The work can include practical tools, reflective conversation and attention to bodily experience to help clients cope day to day.

Yolanda takes part in ongoing professional development and regular clinical supervision in line with her professional commitments. She also shares resources and aims to respond to client messages within twenty-four hours when using message-based formats.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online work fits with them

Yolanda commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment work looks at how early relationships influence present feelings and reactions and can help with relationship and attachment concerns. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience in the moment and aims to make space for their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and they work together to trial approaches that fit the client. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the chosen methods remain relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

The biography does not list specific session formats beyond message-based work, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online arrangements make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing short check-ins during a break. Others value not needing to be on camera or choosing quieter times that suit their day. Ask about format, scheduling and response times when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be arranged.
