What feels impossible to carry alone often becomes more bearable when it is held in the right place. I'm Amy, a Clinical Psychologist in Johannesburg. I see children, adolescents, & adults across various difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, identity, substance use & more. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, exploring what lies beneath the surface, in the history & patterns that shape how you feel & move through the present. I can also draw on CBT, DBT, narrative & trauma-focused work when it helps. How we work together is shaped by who you are and what you need, rather than a fixed approach.
Maybe you have been holding it together on the outside while feeling quietly undone inside. Maybe you are exhausted by the same patterns, the same arguments, the same low mood or anxiety that never quite lifts. Or maybe you cannot fully name what is wrong, only a sense that something could be different.
You are welcome here, whether you are in the middle of something acute, carrying something long-standing, or simply wanting to understand yourself more. I aim to offer a warm, thoughtful, & collaborative space, with no pressure to have it figured out. If you would like to talk about what is bringing you here, or whether we might be a good fit, get in touch.

I also have an interest in complex & developmental trauma, and the ways earlier experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others long after, showing up as patterns that feel stuck, persistent, or difficult to understand. These things make sense given where they emerged and they can be worked with.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic, focused on understanding the patterns, past experiences, and relational dynamics that shape how we feel and move through the present. I am also trained across a range of other modalities, such as narrative, DBT-informed, and trauma-focused approaches, and integrate these depending on your needs. How we work together is collaborative and shaped by your needs.
