I am a skilled clinician with extensive experience in directing individual and group psychotherapy sessions, writing comprehensive reports, administering and evaluating assessments, diagnosing and treating mental health disorders, creating and implementing self-empowerment programs and advocating on behalf of individuals, families and groups to eradicate the stigma associated with mental illness. I use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing for my sessions due to that my focus is mostly on forensic issues such as divorce, gender based violence, child and elder abuse, etc.

As an Educational Psychologist, I work with children, adolescents, young adults and parents who may be facing challenges related to learning, emotional well-being, behaviour, family changes, or developmental concerns. I understand that difficulties at school or at home can affect a child’s confidence and sense of self, and together we work to understand what may be underlying these struggles. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches while also ensuring that my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in ways that feel natural to them.

Hello and welcome to my practice. My name is Monique Botha. I am a clinical psychologist, who finds meaning in walking with humans as they navigate life. The humans who come to my practice are often carrying a great deal, even if it does not always show on the surface. Many arrive feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves, their bodies, or their relationships. They are not looking only for symptom relief; they are seeking understanding, safety, and a space where they can make sense of their inner word. Should you wish to start your own journey of healing, know that you don’t need to to do it alone. <3

Sexual Abuse Counsellors
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.

Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.

How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.

Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
