Yolanda Frost, BACP

Yolanda Frost is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing midlife changes, grief, anxiety and stress. She describes a calm, empathic way of working and aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what feels hard. She uses a person-centred, experiential approach that includes attention to bodily experience as well as thoughts and feelings.

Yolanda’s practice often helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue, and the practical impacts of aging or illness. She also supports people with trauma, addictions, eating and self-esteem problems, and those managing ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening, cognitive strategies and mindfulness. She uses motivational interviewing to help people weigh change and somatic techniques to work with physical responses to stress. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed protocol.

Yolanda has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She has several years’ experience providing counselling in a hospice setting, supporting people through terminal diagnosis and bereavement. That work informs her grief practice and her interest in supporting caregivers.

When someone starts, she asks about immediate needs and goals and suggests an initial review after four to six sessions. She also continues professional development and attends regular supervision to follow the BACP Ethical Framework.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Yolanda blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Yolanda will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She typically checks progress and adjusts the plan together as work unfolds rather than imposing one method from the start.

The original biography specifies live chat and asynchronous messaging as current formats, so confirm the available options before booking if you want a particular session type. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Many people find they can continue regular work or caregiving while keeping counselling as a steady support.
