Psychologist Yngve Dahl – A Safe Space for Change and Growth in Oslo City Centre

As a psychologist in 100% private practice in Oslo city centre, I offer a safe and professional space for adults seeking to process psychological challenges or needing support during a demanding life phase.

My goal is to provide treatment characterized by continuity, respect, and high professional competence—without the long waiting times often found in the public system.

Professional Approach and Experience

I have broad clinical experience working with adults in complex life situations. My background at Rikshospitalet in Oslo has provided me with specialized insight into psychosomatics, serious somatic illnesses, assessments, and gender identity. This experience has taught me the importance of meeting every individual with empathy and precision, regardless of their situation.

In my work, I combine two recognized approaches to tailor the treatment to your needs:

  • Cognitive Therapy (CBT): A structured, goal-oriented method for changing unhelpful thought patterns. I have completed a two-year post-graduate training program from the Norwegian Association for Cognitive Therapy.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy: A focus on deeper understanding of underlying emotions and connections, which I specialized in during my final year at the University of Oslo.

This combination allows me to offer both concrete tools for change and deeper insight into yourself.

International Background and Language

Before qualifying as a psychologist at the University of Oslo, I lived for several years in Spain and Canada, where I studied political science and history.

My years in Canada have made me completely fluent in English. I am very comfortable conducting therapy sessions in English, allowing me to offer the same high standard of care to the international community in Oslo. Whether you are an expat or a native English speaker, we can work together effectively in your preferred language.

Professional Standards

I am a member of the Norwegian Psychological Association and operate in accordance with professional ethical guidelines.
