Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sea Point

My philosophy is that all of us have the necessary abilities to overcome any challenges in life with the right support. I offer an integrative approach to counselling that draws on Gestalt, existential and cognitive theories. I view counselling as a creative process of discovering the masterpiece in each client. I work within an interpersonal framework that places the relationship between the client and the therapist at the heart of the process.

At times life may leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed, seeking to find wellness as you feel unable to cope with daily demands, financial stressors, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, bereavement or life adjustments (relationship, employment, or health changes). Struggling with intra- and interpersonal difficulties and looking for personal development and a way to achieve holistic wellness. This can be done through supportive therapy which assists clients to gain new insights into themselves & current difficulties and equips them with skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

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

I work with a wide range of Mental Health challenges and focus on the specific needs of the client. The goal is to target the origin of the clients challenge and to then work at the pace of the client, so that he/she always feels in control. The goal of therapy is to improve quality of life and and wellness in every dimension of one's life. Trauma, depression or anxiety could impact greatly on one's happiness, functioning and well being. Workplace stress may also impact on health and well being. I have may years of experience in private practice.

I provide treatment and assessment for the array of mental health disorders and difficulties, as well as subclinical growth orientated psychotherapy. In particular, I have special interests in the treatment of adult ADHD, anxiety disorders (OCD, social phobia, and panic attacks), chronic depression, and trauma.

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.

Hi, I'm Lisa. Who am I? A South African bubbly woman with a holistic outlook on life and a drive to challenge the stigma around mental health. When it comes to wellbeing, I believe in integrating a client's mind, body, and soul in order to reach their happiest and most wholesome self. I am both a Specialist Wellness Counsellor with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP) and coach practitioner. I am beyond just these titles that make up my career. I love to laugh, have fun, and be outdoors. I love to get creative, share parts of my own healing journey, and live authentically.

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.

I have a passion for working with people. It is an honour when clients trust you and allow you to be part of their journey.  As part of my private practice, I offer psychotherapy as well as neuropsychological and medico-legal assessments.

As human beings, we strive towards becoming the best version of ourselves. But life often throws several curveballs at us which can lead to difficult times and severe emotional distress. However, it is never too late to practice the necessary self-care and reach out for guidance and support.

“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or “when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another” - Carl R. Rogers.
