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.
