In Person Therapists in Free State

I enjoy working with individuals from all age groups. I also assist with couples therapy and family therapy. I try my best to create a environment where clients can feel safe enough to share their challenges and trauma. I respect and treat each individual with the unique personality traits and characteristics they present with and choose a therapeutic stance that matches you.

On our life's journey we sometimes feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or just that our journey is not going the way we have imagined it. You may feel that something is holding you back, relationships are a struggle or you feel divided in yourself. As a psychologist I offer therapy to anyone who feel they need some help and support to understand themselves and others better and develop frameworks and coping skills to negotiate the rhythms of life. Be it at work, with relationships, family and child raising matters or just developing and finding yourself. My clients include adults, adolescents and children from the age of 10 up.

Taking the first step is usually the most difficult part of your journey for growth. I am here to walk along this journey with you.

I enjoy working holistically with clients and their families in order to ensure the best possible outcome. The approaches I prefer to use are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic. I adjust my methods to best suit the needs of the client. In every session I am aiming to create an environment that is safe and nurturing to the therapeutic process.

I am passionate in helping individuals develop an acceptance for experiences, emotions and challenges faced. In order to work towards this acceptance, I aim to assist individuals in developing the necessary strengths, coping strategies and concrete steps in achieving changed behaviour. I also provide psychometric assessments for adolescents.

As we move through life, we are often faced with many challenges and sometimes even moments that turn our lives upside down. Traumatic events and distressing experiences often leave us feeling lost, defeated and unsure. Everyone deals with these situations in their own way. At times, we are able to manage and cope rather well however, some challenges and tragedies can start to feel overwhelming and hard to cope with on our own. I know what it’s like to be caught in turbulent times. That is why I put my heart and soul into helping individuals make sense of these moments, put their life back together and find contentment and purpose.

Hi my name is Thami and I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist based in South Africa. I have come to realise that most of the time, "people's feelings are influenced by their thoughts "( Aaron Beck). In order to achieve your goals, you need to work on the meaning you attach to different circumstances you find yourself in.

I am a firm believer of the fact that every single person has a life story worthy of being heard. Some stories might seem messy, chaotic and unfinished. Others might seem intriguing, exciting and “figured out”. Point is, everyone has their own story. And as a person who is completely passionate about being a clinical psychologist, I see myself as a friendly, approachable and compassionate human being who will give her best in making this daunting process of seeking therapy a little less scary. I am looking forward in hearing your life story and creating a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and open to share.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” (C.S Lewis) To reach out to a psychologist might feel scary and overwhelming but it might also be one of the bravest things you can do! I am willing to take your hand through your difficulty, and allow you space to talk, to be, to vent and to ask the questions you are so afraid to answer alone. Sometimes therapy can be challenging, maybe overwhelming and at times difficult, but you are not alone and in the end I hope that you can say “it was worth it all”. May this be a meaningful experience for you.

If you're struggling with emotional or daily life challenges, know that you are not alone. I offer a personalized approach to guide and support you on your journey towards healing. With empathy and understanding, I provide a safe and confidential space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Hello, I’m Corinne, a psychiatric occupational therapist specializing in creative therapeutic interventions. My goal is to help my clients function optimally in all aspects of life. Through virtual sessions that are interactive and hands-on, we build strong relationships and tackle tough matters together. My own battles with trauma and anxiety have fueled my passion for understanding and managing these challenges. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to learning about the vagus nerve, the autonomic nervous system, and their crucial roles in mental health and anxiety management.

About Me: I studied communication studies and psychology at the North-West University from 2001 to 2007. After my Masters degree and internship, I also worked at the NWU for 11 years. At the university I worked with students on a emotional and therapeutic level, and also did career- and study-related counselling. ​ I am registered as a Counselling Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and is currently in private practice in Parys, Freestate. I am also a mom, wife and business owner. ​ I truly care for my clients, and work diligently to help them heal, grow and make changes where needed.

Your ideal client is someone who feels they have lost control in some aspect of their life, whether it be emotional control or control over their environment. Recognising that a lack of control can lead to unhappiness, you aim to help these individuals regain a sense of control. Through our work together, we focus on identifying the areas where they feel powerless and develop strategies to restore their sense of agency, ultimately improving their overall well-being.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I feel passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths, cope with daily challenges, and assist them in coping with or working through emotional distress in a safe environment. I offer play therapy to children 4-12 years of age and psychotherapy to adolescents and adults.

Our services include child, adult, couple, and medico-legal assessments and psychotherapy. All medical aids and cash payments are accepted. Let us know how we could be of service

I am counselling psychologist practicing in Bloemfontein, Ficksburg and Clocolan. As we know life can present with various challenges (challenges with work, relationships, health, identify, trauma etc.) and some of those challenges are connected to the past. Being in therapy can be a great way to make sense of your experience, gain insight, grow and heal. When I work with individuals in therapy I incorporate their culture and spirituality in my treatment because our lives are part of so much more. I offer psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe ‘the life you want is on the other side of seeking help’.

Asking for help might be the bravest thing you ever do! Life is a journey that might be hard and even overwhelming sometimes. You may feel stuck and lose all hope. I can provide a safe space where I will listen with empathy and compassion to your life story and help you to make sense of your journey and to heal and grow. Discovering the strengths that lie within yourself can be a rewarding process that will equip you to deal more effectively with life's challenges.

Consulting with a psychologist can be a daunting task. However, I aim to always provide a safe and therapeutic space for clients to help ease the uncertainty that they may initially present with. By working holistically and in an integrative manner I aim to meet clients where they are and assist them through their challenging moments. I provide counselling in Afrikaans and English and assist children, adolescents and adults who present with a range of mental health difficulties. On request I am also available to provide career counselling and subject choice counselling.
