Miss Candice Yorke

Counseling Psychologist

“I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I typically utilise Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy approaches.”

About Me

I enjoy guiding adolescents and young adults through life’s challenges. We can explore your thoughts and feelings using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to build practical coping skills for everyday life. Alternatively, Narrative Therapy helps you reshape your story and find new perspectives. I aim to create a supportive space where you feel truly heard. This approach suits those ready to gain clear tools and a fresh outlook on their journey.

Approach

Working with adolescents and young adults, I move between practical skill-building and reflective storytelling so sessions feel active yet grounded. In my Sandton consulting room, conducted in English, we keep a steady rhythm: focused check-ins, short skill practice during the hour, and simple exercises to try between meetings that connect feelings to everyday situations. I help unpack patterns around mood, anxiety, anger and family tensions, translating insights into small experiments you can test. This way of working often fits people who want hands-on strategies and new perspective on their next steps.
