Yoav van der Heyden Clinical Psychologist Cape Town

“I trained as a Clinical Psychologist at the University of Cape Town, and at the University of Stellenbosch. I’ve been in practice since 2006.

I use an approach known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for much of my work. Although I have trained in various psychological approaches and incorporate these when needed. I am particularly excited by ACT as a contextual behavioral approach that incorporates mindfulness among other interesting concepts. I believe that we are always impacted by our socio-economic and political environment and so I acknowledge and reflect on these influences.”
