Female Therapists in Vredehoek, WC

I work very much from a Rogerian perspective in that I walk with the client and help them to identify their issues, discover their own healing and coping mechanisms as well as increasing their autonomy in the process. I find that the effects of this are far longer lasting and more powerful than me trying to give advice. At the same time, I am there walking along with them, giving support and guidance where needed. Upholding my ethical codes of Beneficence and non-maleficence. My client is my priority. This is my counselling philosophy.

I am a registered counselling psychologist that provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the current challenges you are facing. I use a holistic and integrative approach to fit each client's unique needs. Each client is different; therefore your sessions will be uniquely formulated to meet your specific needs.

I offer psychotherapy to individuals over the age of 21 years who crave change, possess a curiosity towards their inner world, and who seek insight and emotional expression. I tend to work with those who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, relationships, life stage transitions/adjustment, loss and identity. Through supported exploration and deeper understanding of their difficulties, clients find the capacity within themselves to improve the quality of their lives, build resilience, and foster more satisfying relationships with others.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist based in Rondebosch and Gardens, Cape Town. I predominantly provide therapy to adolescents and adults and use an integrative approach based on each client’s individual needs. I aim to provide a comfortable and caring space where clients can explore the challenges they face.

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.

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

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.

I'm an Honours-qualified Psychologist, and registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor, invested in the psychological wellbeing of all my clients. I work intuitively and apply psychodynamic principles in therapy, which assist in identifying 'unconscious patterns' that may be causing anxiety, confusion, depression, despair, anger or fear in your life. By addressing patterns that create disharmony I can also support you in realising your authenticity and higher potential by tapping into nuanced conditions that may be delaying your personal growth and expansion, providing you with practical tools to build an empowered, meaningful life.
