Therapists in Claremont

I've worked with multiple age groups and populations - informing me of the differences, and the commonalities in the human experience. I take an eclectic approach- looking at personality dynamics, thought patterns and the resulting behaviours.

Counselling has become a part of my life and I believe that we should all strive to be our true authentic self. Counselling is not just a career but a calling where I can see how my purpose fuels my passion. Working as an effective, competent counsellor is what drives the level of integrity and willingness to see a difference in clients’ lives. Therefore I am dedicated to provide psychological services to individuals, toddlers, adolescents, young adults, adults, groups, couples and families. My aim is to create a space where clients can be their authentic self's.

At times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed. We may know what is causing unease or pain, but often we struggle to understand the cause. A therapy relationship at these times, can bring better understanding and help you think in new ways about yourself, your relationships and your journey forward.

My psychotherapeutic stance is accepting and judgment-free. The therapeutic relationship is essential in effective therapy. Based on this, it is crucially important to get to know my clients on a personal level, and for my clients to get to know me. I position myself alongside my clients to collaboratively formulate a focused treatment plan.

Pause, Read, and Connect. Do you feel as though the winding and vast roads of life could use a supportive GPS? I offer specialised and steadfast support through wellness counselling that aids your discovery of your true voice and inner resilience to find harmony in your life - your direction and path. This helpful and beneficial process provides the gift of proactive and supportive life strategies. I am committed to walking alongside you so you can navigate the transitions of life confidently.

My therapeutic style is gentle and warm, taking a special interest in forming a genuine connection with each person I work with. Life can make one feel stuck at times, but there is always a path forward. I am here to walk alongside you as we hold and work through what feels challenging and stuck for you right now, toward the life you truly desire for yourself. My intent is to create a safe environment where you feel empowered to show up as your most authentic self - supporting you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences and in healing the things that have been difficult to heal on your own.

We often start to seek therapy when feeling overwhelmed amongst various other reasons, while it can be an unfamiliar experience, I find it fulfilling to offer that space. I’m based in Milnerton and Woodstock Capetown. I obtained my Masters degree at Wits University. I speak multiple South African languages, including siSwati, isiZulu, isiXhosa, seTswana and English. I have experience in offering therapy to individuals living with depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, chronic illness, work related stress, relationship difficulties, and adjustment challenges.

Life can be challenging and we may feel lost, overwhelmed or a myriad of other emotions that we do not always understand. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space in which to understand and find ways of overcoming these challenges. Our lives are unique, and as such the focus of therapy I provide is aligned to your particular needs, whether it is to manage a crisis within yourself, or to better understand and function in relationships with others. I work with children, tweens, adolescents and adults.

I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey back home to yourself. I accompany people as they deal with life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, identity crises, suicide, burnout and trauma, from age 13 and up. To heal is to make whole again. It is calling back all the parts of ourselves that have been lost and exiled, tending to the old wounds, and coming alive to what we have inside of us. It is discovering all of who we are, and finding meaning in all of who we are.

I've studied the science, philosophy, and history of therapy at the University of Cape Town and University College London for seven years, and I have practiced as a counsellor in Cape Town for four years. I believe the mainspring of therapy is love. Everyone who has given or received therapy has gone through a kind of love disorder, and each has a story to tell: a love lost or denied, twisted or betrayed, perverted and shackled to violence.

Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. I have a person-centred approach: radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard with a non-directive stance. I strive to work with the healthy resilience of the individual or group, creating a sense of safety in the present so that personal challenges can be explored in a contained way. Whilst creativity is the foundation for curiosity and expression, the sessions are client led focusing on their preferred mode of expression. The work (with children and adults) is trauma informed and diversity sensitive. Restoring and encouraging agency is ever present

The therapy room seems to be one of the only remaining places where two people can sit together uninterrupted for 50 minutes. My practice offers an unconditional, non-judgemental containing space to women seeking the clarity to live with increased insight, personal power, and purpose. By supporting your personal growth and healing, I’ll help you steadily move towards a state of centeredness and equilibrium. I combine practical, solution-focused techniques with insight-oriented psychodynamic theory and a dash of eastern wisdom to help you find healthier perceptions of yourself.

I specialise in helping adults with ADHD. I have a master’s degree in psychology, and I have ADHD myself. I know how pervasive ADHD can be, affecting every aspect of life, no matter how big or small. As a therapist and coach, I draw on my expertise in how the brain is wired and on my own personal journey with ADHD to help clients like you understand how the ADHD brain works and how it affects you. Together, we'll address the thoughts and feelings, shaped by our unique lived experiences with ADHD, that may be holding you back. We'll focus on developing concrete and practical strategies to effectively manage ADHD in your daily life.

Sanctuary is what so many of us need in this turbulent world. We face internal and external challenges daily. My aim is to provide a nurturing space - a space in which we can safely explore and hopefully resolve any challenges you face. A space where you can feel safe to share your thoughts, your hopes, your dreams and your heartaches. A space that focuses on the work to help you overcome what is affecting your mental well-being. I aim to work with you to build a better foundation from which you can reach your full potential. Message us on 0735833831 for a call back from our administrator.

Hello, I’m Charné and I’m so glad you’re here! I actively work on creating a space that is warm and genuine for adolescents and adults seeking to understand their world. Together, we explore your past and navigate the present, guiding you toward a healthier, more aligned, and grounded sense of self. There are many reasons to seek therapeutic support. I work with people struggling to make sense of a life transition, their sense of self and those struggling with anxiety and stress management. My practice is a LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming space- supporting late-diagnosed ASD and ADHD clients.

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

Therapy may feel like a big step towards improving our mental health, so congratulations on wanting to take the first step! The goal of therapy is to alleviate emotional distress through insight into ourselves and others. Occupational therapy promotes mental health and well-being through occupation. Occupations include things you need to, want to and are expected to do. Occupational therapy will help: If the daily challenges of life feel overwhelming, if you’ve just experienced a major life change and need help adjusting to a 'new normal', or if you’ve just completed inpatient or primary treatment and are wondering "what next?"

Therapy is only likely to be effective when the therapist and client have a relationship that is based on integrity, trust, safety and the absence of judgement. Creating that space is my overriding priority. When the therapy space is safe, we are able to explore our emotional lives, our relationships, our work, our play and our intrapersonal dynamics in ways that allow for a deeper consideration of what is best for us and those around us. I work with whatever is most important to you at this chapter of your life with a view to crafting the the most considered choice.
