Family Psychologists and Therapists in East London
Self-awareness is the foundation of a meaningful relationship with yourself and with others. True personal growth begins when we take the time to understand our inner world: our triggers, relational patterns, and the unconscious drivers behind self-sabotaging behaviours. As Carl Jung stated, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct
your life, and you will call it fate.' Therapy offers a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-exploration, one that empowers individuals to become experts in their own lives. As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer specialised, evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support to family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.
How do I know if my family needs counselling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioural changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.
Who attends family counselling sessions?
Family counselling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.
Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in an area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.
What therapeutic approaches are used in family counselling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.
How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
In South Africa, family therapy is often paid out of pocket and sessions usually range from around R1000 to R3000 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. Some medical schemes may provide partial coverage for family therapy, depending on the plan and whether the service is considered clinically necessary. Public or lower-cost support may also be available through government health services or community organisations, although availability can vary by area.
