Yolanda Fei

Yolanda Fei is a trainee integrative counsellor studying towards a Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre and practicing with NHS Talking Therapies in Wandsworth. She is a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and is currently working towards BACP accreditation. Yolanda has experience supporting clients exploring a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including challenges with self-esteem, relationships, identity, attachment patterns, and the impact of past experiences on present wellbeing. Her integrative approach draws on psychodynamic and person-centred perspectives, allowing her to explore both the influence of earlier life experiences and the importance of the therapeutic relationship in the present moment. Yolanda is committed to providing a confidential, supportive, and non-judgemental space where clients can develop greater self-awareness and explore meaningful change at their own pace.

Yolanda’s approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that greater understanding of ourselves can support more intentional choices and healthier ways of relating. She works alongside clients to explore how experiences, relationships, and learned patterns may shape the way they see themselves and others. Drawing on psychodynamic principles, Yolanda supports clients in developing insight into attachment patterns and how early experiences may influence current relationships, emotional responses, and beliefs about themselves. Alongside this, her person-centred approach places importance on empathy, acceptance, and creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. Rather than providing fixed answers or solutions, Yolanda supports clients in developing their own understanding, recognising their strengths, and making choices that feel more aligned with their values and sense of identity.

Yolanda’s therapeutic work is informed by her academic background, including a Master’s degree in Developmental and Educational Psychology from University College London (UCL), alongside her ongoing counselling training. Her understanding of psychological development and relational experiences informs her interest in supporting clients who are exploring the impact of childhood experiences, developmental or relational trauma, and patterns that may affect their current lives. She is particularly interested in helping clients navigate difficulties relating to self-esteem, close relationships, identity, and personal growth. Yolanda brings a calm, reflective, and compassionate presence to her work, offering a structured yet supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, develop greater clarity, and build a stronger connection with themselves and the choices they want to make.
