What people say
I can't share client feedback — that's the nature of the work.
But I can share what colleagues and professional contacts
have said about working with me.
Approach
Yolande offers a creative, relational space for adults and adolescents, grounded in trauma and attachment-informed care. Her approach integrates the arts to foster healing and self-discovery in a calm, professional environment.
My Approach
Our safe connection is the vital heart of healing.
True trust develops naturally over time and I do not expect it to be immediate. We will move at a pace that feels safe for you, ensuring you remain in control of your journey.
What is creative arts therapy?
Creative arts therapy is a gentle way to explore your feelings and experiences using tools like art-making, music or movement when words alone aren't enough. You don't need any artistic skill to benefit; the focus is entirely on the process of expressing yourself to ease stress and build self-confidence in a safe space.
How I work
I offer a gentle, integrative presence where our connection serves as the safe foundation for your healing journey. By weaving together trauma-informed insights and attachment-based care, we will work to understand your history while creating a hopeful path toward a more resilient future. Our sessions provide a steady, compassionate space to explore your inner world at a pace that feels secure and nurturing for you.
What to expect
Our initial consultation is a collaborative space to explore your needs and ensure you feel comfortable with my approach before making any commitment. In these early sessions, we move entirely at your pace, prioritizing your consent and emotional safety as we build a foundation of trust. Throughout our time together, we will regularly check in to ensure the therapy feels supportive and aligned with your personal goals.
“When you have a better relationship with yourself, you invariably have a better relationship with other people.”
