Yolanda Frost, BACP

Yolanda Frost is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing grief, anxiety and everyday pressures. She supports clients working through relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and the distress that follows major life changes. Her straightforward, calm approach aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Yolanda draws on person-centred and somatic methods to include both thoughts and bodily sensations in sessions. She often uses mindfulness and elements of cognitive behavioural work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and learn practical ways to cope. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when clients want help making lasting changes.

Her background includes several years counselling in a hospice setting, where she supported people facing terminal illness and bereavement. That experience shaped her way of working with grief and the complex feelings that follow loss. She also has training in somatic approaches and grief-focused practice.

Yolanda has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She keeps up regular supervision and continued professional development to inform her practice. Her work often addresses ageing and geriatric issues alongside caregiver stress and cancer-related concerns.

To begin, she asks about what matters to each person and recommends an initial block of sessions, usually around four to six, before reviewing progress. People who want to explore the next steps can use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Yolanda integrates person-centred, somatic and cognitive behavioural ideas into her work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore their goals. Somatic methods bring attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress, which can help with anxiety and nervous system regulation. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and introduce practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and adjust the style over time. Together they set goals and review progress, deciding which methods feel most useful as therapy continues.

Her biography notes current use of written communication formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily routines is part of the initial planning so therapy can be tailored to what works for the individual.
