Hello...

Hi my name is Yolanda Wade. I am a qualified and experienced BACP registered integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and adhere to its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, my approach to my work is to allow the uniqueness of an individual’s voice and concerns to be heard, seen, validated and understood and adapt my way of working to suit what has been shared by my clients. My aim in my practice is to support my clients on their journeys to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and to empower them to make the changes that aligns with the life and person they want to be.

Therapy with me...

My tailored approach to meeting my clients’ needs are drawn from a range of modalities, including Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Solution Focused therapies that we would explore in our sessions together so that the personal and behavioural change desired is achieved.

I appreciate that reaching out for support can be a very daunting, nervous and scary experience and so I offer a warm, empathetic and friendly approach in the therapeutic space. This is so that our relationship between myself and you, can develop in a safe and comfortable way.

Experience

I have a great deal of experience working with bereavement and loss from offering long term support in hospice care, where I supported families, individuals, carers and those bereaved. I work with adults, children and young people. My work with young people has been with school settings and for an independent fostering agency.

Areas of Expertise

My specialisms include attachment, abuse, anxiety, anger management, bereavement and loss, childhood issues, depression, identity issues, personal development, post-traumatic stress, relationship breakdown, self-esteem, trauma, , and work-related stress.

If you need a specialist, I am able to offer therapy to people who are affected by Learning Disability
