Yorke
Counselling psychologist
I am a Counselling Psychologist with a strong passion for working with children and adolescents, alongside their families, educators, and other professionals involved in their care. This interest stems from my belief that early support and intervention lay the foundation for positive emotional development, resilience, and well-being throughout life.
I have extensive experience working in schools, universities, and child and youth care centres, both locally and internationally. These environments have provided me with exposure to a wide range of complex social challenges and psychological presentations, including:
– Behavioural concerns
– Anxiety and depression
– ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder
– Trauma
– Intellectual and physical disabilities
More recently, I have expanded my work into the private sector, where I continue to support clients across various stages of development.
While I typically work from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework, I am also well-versed in Humanistic and Narrative Therapy approaches. I adapt my therapeutic style to meet each client’s unique needs, and often incorporate creative mediums, including art and play therapy techniques, especially when working with younger clients.
In addition to therapy, I have experience in conducting a variety of psychological assessments, including:
– Cognitive
– Emotional and behavioural
– Personality
– Scholastic and career guidance
I am also currently expanding my knowledge in neuropsychological testing.
I am passionate about working in a holistic and collaborative way, promoting not just psychological well-being, but also social and physical health. I enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary team, as I believe that integrated care ensures the most meaningful and sustainable outcomes for the individuals and families I support.
