Ms Yvonne Dobson
Counseling Psychologist
“Experience of 30 years with adults: Mood disorders, anxiety, complex trauma survivors, addictions incl. 'co-dependency', life changes, e.g. divorce”
About Me
With 30 years' experience, I guide adults navigating significant life shifts and deeply held challenges. I offer a calm, consistent space to explore mood disorders, anxiety, and the lasting impact of chronic trauma. We can also process addictions, including 'co-dependency', and complex life changes like divorce. My steady approach helps clients understand their experiences, fostering resilience and a clearer path forward.
Approach
I keep the work practical and measured, helping you name patterns and try small shifts that feel safe and useful. In sessions, whether in Cape Town or online, in English, we move at a steady pace—exploring thoughts and bodily reactions, linking past wounds to present choices, and setting doable steps between meetings. You’ll find sessions are collaborative and focused, with gentle tracking of what helps. This way of working suits adults facing deep change who want clear, steady progress.
