In Person Therapists in Parkhurst

Welcome, my name is Bêne. I am a passionate and professional Counselling Psychologist practicing online and in Parkhurst, Johannesburg. I am honoured to work with adults facing a variety of life challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout and work-related stress, relationship difficulties, and bereavement. I have a special interest loss and grief, and am in the process of doing my PhD on disenfranchised grief. Whatever brings you to therapy, I hope to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with you and walk alongside you on your journey of healing.

I am a competent, skilled, and compassionate clinical psychologist working primarily with individuals and couples. I have gained extensive experience in treating individuals both in South Africa and in the United Kingdom presenting with a wide variety of issues, including emotional, psychiatric, and health-related difficulties. I have trained in a number of different models of psychological therapy and draw from all these models when treating patients. I also offer group Mindfulness-Based-Cognitive-Therapy (MBCT) courses, an evidence-based treatment for relapsing depression and other emotional and psychological conditions.

Life can get away with us and may make it difficult to keep in touch with yourself (whoever that is, whatever that looks like) and that is why I value the concept of taking care of yourself/myself, be it spiritually (religion, nature, art, etc), physically (picnicking, hiking or gym), mentally (reading and doing puzzles) and emotionally (talking, drawing, music, etc). We live in a high pressured, and at times critical society which can make it difficult to navigate even the most "mundane" tasks. I believe that having a safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore various issues is necessary in tension release & self-discovery.

Life can be challenging and complicated. Our past experiences have a way of influencing how we manage the challenges life brings and we can often find ourselves repeating patterns of behaviour, which can create even more difficulties. Therapy is a space to explore these patterns and to have an experience which is safe and challenging at the same time.

I am an HPCSA Registered Counselor passionate about mental health and helping clients attain psychological well-being. I create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and safe space for you to explore your concerns. I will work collaboratively with you as you are the expert in your life. My role is facilitating the therapeutic process and helping you reach your goals. I offer individual therapy for adults and teenagers. I work from an integrative approach, which uses solution-focused and psychodynamic therapy techniques.

I am a warm, amiable and down to earth psychologist based in Linden (Randburg, Johannesburg). While I work with adults of various ages and with a range of difficulties, I find it particularly rewarding to assist young adults (20s and 30s) grappling with depression, anxiety and childhood trauma. I also have an interest in helping clients with relationship difficulties, and working with major life changes, losses or events.

I am a Counselling Psychologist situated in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, in close proximity to the areas of Rosebank and Sandton. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families addressing current challenges with a Solution Focused approach. These challenges may include some more common complaints such as depression and anxiety, or those trying to come to terms with a trauma or bereavement. My approach is focused and therefore short-term in nature. As such long term time commitments is uncommon. I hope this can help people achieve significant change whilst offering them a more cost effective therapeutic approach.

My name is Megan Vries. I am a clinical psychologist, based in Craighall Park, providing therapy to adults and adolescents. There are constant demands placed on adults, including family responsibility, navigating interpersonal relationships, and work demands. Similarly, Adolescence and young adulthood is a challenging period as young people are experiencing cognitive, social, emotional and interpersonal changes. Adolescents may be under significantly more pressure than when they were younger, in that more is expected from them academically and socially.

Being human means facing a life with painful moments. Whether you’re searching for a way through the pain, are learning to live with a mental illness, or are trying to make sense of your existence, we can walk the road together.

I am a psychologist who truly loves doing psychotherapy. I believe the psychotherapeutic relationship is the critical factor in healing. I am intensely interested in and caring for my clients. Theory and technique follow. I have 25 years of experience as a psychologist in a broad range of settings and contexts with an M.A in Psychology and full registration with the licensing council. I also held full licensing capacity with the BPS while in the UK. Get in touch if you need help!

Rivonia Therapy Centre has a team of Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychologists. We offer psychotherapeutic services for issues such as relationship difficulties, mood disorders, and life changes adjustments. We also offer services for scholastic, cognitive functioning and emotional assessments.

Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

What has happened? Often when the initial shock wears off we will say, "I am okay now". Thus we underestimate the impact of the frequent traumas and stressors in our lives. Over time these pockets of tears, fears and pain affect our relationships, leaving us in feeling more alone. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a medical and stress related background. My integrated therapeutic focus is on interpersonal relationships and the emotions that can affect them. I work with individuals, couples and/or with the parents of children who are having difficulties.

We all struggle to cope with the challenges of life from time to time and starting therapy can offer you a grounded space of support. I am a Clinical Psychologist and offer a nurturing and private space, for you to unpack your thoughts and gain clarity. Psychotherapy is an ideal platform to explore your pain, give words to unspoken trauma and help you manage when you feel overwhelmed, down or anxious. My way of working lends itself better to medium or longer-term psychotherapy as I enjoy doing depth work with my patients. This includes exploring how our earliest experiences influence how we see oursehow we connect with others.

Along this life journey we may get thrown a curve ball and may be facing difficulties that feel overwhelming and our usual coping mechanisms fail us. A soldier can only run so far on a wounded limb, until they pay attention to it and dress it up for healing. So it is with life. We may need to tend to, dress, and heal the wounds. Therapy can be a powerful mechanism of healing, growth and restoration. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who may be experiencing a wide range of including emotional, relational, psychiatric and health-related difficulties.

I offer short and long-term therapy for adults, adolescents and couples, focus on providing a kind, thoughtful and non-judgemental space within which to work with my clients. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship conflicts, sexual and sexual orientation, the elderly, among other issues, tailoring the treatment to my clients’ individual needs. I believe in the spirit of the human condition to overcome adversity and awaken the unique potential within us and assist the process of dynamic growth.

I love working with young Educational Psychologists in developing their skills through supervision and various workshops. I also have a passion for working with teenagers and young adults. Much of my work focuses on Career Guidance and Development, where I combine an exciting range of qualitative techniques with the more traditional psychometric approach. This allows me to assist individuals in gaining insight into their personal journeys and motivations as they make career decisions, thereby enriching their self-knowledge. I conduct Psycho-Educational assessments for IEB and GDE Accommodation purposes, and for diagnostic purposes.

Hi, My name is Jacqui. I came upon the decision of going into Social Work and Play Therapy in 2018. What guided me to this decision was the realization that I had a passion for helping people and for working with children. I think my personality is what makes me able to communicate so easily with children. I am a person who is fun, loving and caring and if a phrase could describe me it would be that “I am a child at heart”. What I offer here at Pondering Possibilities is a service that will help you and your child navigate the stressors of life, through activities focused on therapy and play. Look forward to meeting you soon.
