Therapists in Western Cape

Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.

I am a registered clinical psychologist in George/Wilderness on the Garden route. I have extensive experience working in an integrative framework with adults and adolescents. Together we can explore feelings, thoughts and actions so as to optimize growth and development towards a more authentic way of being.

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.

Chronic stress, depression and trauma wreaks havoc on our lives. There is this constant feeling of being alone, confused, overwhelmed, which leaves us feeling depleted each day. This causes all kinds of issues in our health, relationships and the perception of ourselves and the world around us. Constantly being stuck in these states causes us to have fewer options and makes the future seem quite bleak and hopeless. I can imagine what you are longing for is someone to really listen, support and gently guide you in a direction of growth, resilience and living life to it's fullest potential.

I provide a safe space, where you can feel heard and understood. I am a big advocate for mental health and breaking the stigma. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength as you have admitted that you need assistance... You are not alone. My services are also offered in Afrikaans. My dienste is ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans.

Everyone of us faces challenges in life, our struggles just looks different. I believe that no matter how small or big the challenge, you have to work through it. As someone who taught at a high-school for 4 years, I know the effect that low self-image, trauma, relationship troubles between parents etc can have on their kids and on the parents. I would love to create a safe space and offer support to clients with low self-image, trauma, relationship problems and people who experience challenges. If your goal is to become happier, healthier and to stress less, you should give online counselling a try.

Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

I completed my MA in Clinical Social Work at the University of Cape Town in 2001. Over the last 25 years, I have worked therapeutically with individuals, families, and groups in various different settings such as primary schools, tertiary institutions, family mental health units, state primary health care clinics, fertility clinics, corporate companies, and in private practice. In my practice, I work with adults, young adults and teenagers offering short to long term psychotherapy depending on the needs of the person.

Step into a warm and affirming space where you are free to be yourself. Hi - I'm Dayna, a compassionate Counselling Psychologist based in Claremont, Cape Town. Whether you are struggling with relationships, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, familial struggles, identity, adjustment, stress, career uncertainty, bereavement/grief, or challenges that life has dealt you, allow me to support you through it. You do not have to navigate this journey alone.

My clients tend to have various life challenges. These can range from stress, anxiety, depression and suicidality to loss/grief, life transitions, coping with chronic diagnosis, couples counselling, career counselling and more. The need tends to be to address the challenges, promote self-discovery and mental health, find a collaborative support structure and to find ways of developing tools that will assist them beyond the counselling space. In the end counselling is about trying to find a way to reshape your life/approach/perspective to something that better fits who you are as a person and to gain a sense of personal well-being.

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 imagine someone who understands that we cannot avoid emotional pain and suffering in life, as these are both an intrinsic part of the human condition. I enjoy working with people who seek to find ways to continue to find positive meaning and to get the most out of life despite the inevitable difficulties that life may throw their way.

I have a passion for working with clients, providing them with tools to navigate the challenges and pitfalls of early recovery. Support is also provided to families to deal with the impact of addiction and learning how to support their love one's in recovery.

As a counselling psychologist my focus is on short and long term therapeutic interventions with adolescents and adults. Over the past twenty years, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings within South Africa and Canada. Through these experiences, I have developed special interests that include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress management, adjustment issues, interpersonal difficulties and low self esteem.

The Individuals that feel as though no-one will understand or who have been told time and time again that they are the ones at fault, either in their relationships or at work. The individuals who feel alone and who cannot speak out due to hidden manipulation and control within a home or who are insidiously abused within a relationship. The individuals who feel that they are the ones who have destroyed their families lives, the individuals who want a safe space, a listening ear and supportive dialogue. The individual who wants clarity of mind, effective coping mechanisms and understanding, these are the individuals I counsel.
