Yolan Moodley

Counselling Psychologist

I am a dedicated counselling psychologist who is passionate about facilitating growth, healing and positive change with my clients. My private practice is situated in Ferndale, Randburg, in the north of Johannesburg, where I offer psychotherapy for adults,  teens, couples and  play therapy for children.

I have worked in a variety of psycho-therapeutic centers including in-patient and outpatient facilities where I have assisted clients with a wide range of personal difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional problems, feeling ‘empty’, anger, struggling to be ‘present’, chronic pain management, bereavement, men’s sexual issues, self-esteem issues, personal growth, ‘over-thinking’, existential concerns and feelings of being ‘stuck’ in life.

In my work with children I often work with complaints from school, behavioural problems, not listening to parents’ requests, bedwetting, excessive shyness, aggression, ADHD, and difficulties getting along with other children.

SERVICES OFFERED

• Psychotherapy and Counselling for adults and adolescents (teenagers).
• Couples Relationship Counselling

During therapy a safe and trusting space is provided where clients and I work together as a team to better understand, cope with and master the challenges that are facing them. With couples I allow enough time for each partner to voice their perspective on the relationship issues before charting a way forward.

• Play Therapy for children

• Collaborative Parent Guidance

Through the use of toys, games and art children are able to express the difficult feelings that are impacting negatively on their behaviour, academic performance, and social relationships. Parents and I work as a team and learn effective ways to manage their children’s difficulties.  I work with children 8 years old and above.

• Parenting Plans

Couples with children who are separating need a Parenting Plan. It is a document that outlines how you will go about making key decisions about your children. This includes where they live, when each parent gets to see them, how children will be financially maintained and many other necessities.For inquiries email: mediation@yolan.net or call 0713421910

• Voice of the Child Assessments

As part of a separation/divorce process your child’s voice legally needs to be given due consideration. As a child psychologist who has been trained in Divorce and Family mediation as well as on Voice f the Child assessments, I am able to conduct this process with your child and feedback to you and your mediator/attorney/family advocate/judge.

I offer sessions on weekdays from 10am – 6pm, both in person or online via video call. For more information go to my website: www.yolan.net   Fees are in accordance with most medical aid schemes. The location in Ferndale, Randburg is close to the neighbouring suburbs of Bryanston, North Riding, Hurlingham, Bordeaux, Blairgowrie, Robindale, Randpark Ridge, Boskruin and Sharonlea.
