Therapists in Cape Town City

Most people can feel low and anxious due to difficult life experiences, but is this experience affecting the quality of your life or causing you suffering? If so, I am a UCT trained clinical psychologist with 23 years of clinical experience in treating, supporting and working therapeutically with people to find lasting change to their presenting difficulties. I have a special interest and expertise in working therapeutically with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, family/relationship struggles, life-decisions and work related difficulties. I maintain a safe, confidential and ethical practice.

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a value-driven life. Having a dedicated time in which to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

As a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with extensive expertise (6+ years), I lead T1S (Transforming Lives One Session At A Time), a thriving international practice. My specialties include addiction, depression, CBT, relationship counselling, and overall wellness for adults & children. Additionally I offer guidance on financial struggles, family dynamics and personal growth. Together, we can Transform Your Life One Session At A Time.

Hello and warm greetings! I'm Kristin, a devoted and compassionate counsellor and the co-founder of Aurelia Autism Services, a platform born out of my extensive journey through various continents, working closely with diverse individuals within the spectrum of autism.

I believe that therapy is a partnership in being curious about your past, and exploring in an accepting and authentic environment. It is also about experiencing some of the difficult things in yourself and the world, and having a consistent, safe space to encounter these challenges. Sometimes when we hit our lowest point, we are most open to change.

I am committed to providing accessible psychological services which focuses on support and promoting well-being to individuals, families and groups. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process and I use interventions that best suit the needs of the client to focus on what will bring about the most meaningful change in their lives. Areas of interest include personal growth and identity development, family relationship struggles, adjustments difficulties, loss and bereavement, trauma, self-esteem, bullying, stress, burnout and lifestyle management, self-development, dealing with divorce, and step-family integration.

I seek to help anyone dealing with traumatic experiences; as well as individuals who need help coping with daily life, and any significant life transitions. If your goal is to find healthy coping mechanisms, or to just move from a space of darkness into hopefulness, I will gladly facilitate that. Talk-therapy offers 50mins to just focus on yourself - something which, especially with the overwhelming nature of life- has become dearly important.

My practice focuses on adult individual therapy. I believe that human beings have an inherent need to connect with others. When these connections and ways in which we relate to others are challenged or compromised it can often lead to psychological pain. Psychological and emotional difficulties in turn may translate into mental health issues. Hence, the core of my therapeutic approach is to develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients where corrective experiences or new ways of relating can occur.

Hi. I have been in practice for 33 years and continue to be passionate about what I do. I work with high functioning adults using a form of Psychotherapy which I have developed called Therapeutic Coaching. I am interactive in my approach whilst having been trained as a Depth Psychologist. What this means is that I am trained to identify my clients' underlying issues, childhood traumas, depression, anxiety etc. but work in a very interactive way in dealing with these. I work with individuals as well as with couples and have a reputation for working successfully with challenging couples who are in crisis.

On the brink of a new permanent relationship and wondering: how do I make this work? Already married but struggling, or experiencing the trauma of divorce? Want to love again but now there are children to consider in the new marriage you are entering into? All of these big life experiences can be scary and exciting at the same time, and sometimes we need some guidance in them. Visit: my website relationtherapy.co.za.

Imagine two versions of yourself. The one is bound by self-doubt, and saddled by the weight of negative thoughts, unhealthy habits, toxic relationships and past traumatic events. This version struggles to see beyond the horizon and is trapped in a constant cycle of limitations and missed opportunities. The other version, however, has been liberated, and is soaring above the clouds, embracing the boundless possibilities that life has to offer. What is holding you back from reaching this elevated state? Often, it's the heavy anchors of negativity and exhaustion dragging you down.

My clients usually find themselves at life transitions or emotional crossroads. They face problems like low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bipolar mood disorder, eating disorders, early childhood trauma, difficult life choices, early or mid-career stress, burn out, relationship difficulties and conflict, divorce, traumatic life events and grief.

What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflect my life and work philosophy. The goal of my approach is the long-term alleviation of distress & suffering. Immediately after a session clients will often feel hopeful and their mood lifts. Thereafter they return to the same home or work environment which maintains the stress and they may feel exactly the same. CBT and DBT provide strategies for longer term relief and successful management of difficulties. Together we will focus on adjusting thoughts, working through difficult emotions, and changing self-defeating behaviours.

I have a psychotherapy practice that offers clients specialized psychotherapeutic care. My practice is for adults who need help with problems like mood disorders, substance use disorders and even aspects of their own personality they may find difficult to change. I like to collaborate with clients, to think together with them about what they may need to reflect on that will bring them value and meaning in their day-to-day life. In addition to this I think it is important to examine patterns of excessive or unhelpful behaviour that compromise their feeling of self-coherence, agency and place in the world.

Are you struggling to manage your anxiety, or experiencing stress and burnout? Are you feeling misunderstood, frustrated or helpless in your personal relationships? Are you faced with significant life transitions that are affecting your emotions and mood? We all experience times when our ability to cope with what is happening in our lives is challenged, and simply put, we need help. Counselling can offer short-term and dynamic interventions that support our psychosocial wellbeing, enhance personal functioning, and increase our ability to adjust to the changes that life brings.

I love helping clients who are feeling burdened, stuck and overwhelmed by conflict, either in the workspace or within their families. This conflict from be draining, causing anxiety and making my clients feel insecure and burnt-out. Clients who are looking to reduce conflict, create boundaries, manage relationships better and wanting to find peace, even when the actual circumstance cannot be altered, are my ideal client - as together we will formulate options and create alternative perspectives to achieve peace.

My therapy practice is a containing, curious, creative space for those who are seeking to understand and welcome all the parts of themselves. We often get stuck in patterns and set narratives, and struggle to imagine anything different – for ourselves or our relationships. I cannot provide solutions, but in a confidential and safe therapy relationship, I can walk alongside you as we try to understand your hurt, your health and your healing. I am passionate about working with women and those who are navigating life transitions, loss and shifting intergenerational patterns. My approach is humanistic, trauma-informed, & psychodynamic.

I am an organised & empathic Registered Counsellor (HPCSA) with a positively infectious personality. I have experience in multiple areas of practice within the mental health sphere, & I have a keen interest in one-on-one counselling for people of all ages. I fiercely advocate for my clients & I believe that all deserve access to quality mental healthcare.

I believe that with the needed support services patients/ clients can regain or maintain their resilience. In doing so they are able to make a valuable contribution in life in whatever way they want to. I am providing clinical services that will allow my patients/ clients to live to their full potential.
