Over the years I have trained to become a Clinical Psychologist, I was intrigued by the studies in the field of Psychology on how they conceptualize psychological and psychiatric problems. Through the experience in the field I have realized no single theory can be expected to explain the complexity of an individual’s unique mind. I am working with individuals, adults, couples and families to allow reconnection to hope and humour.

My name is Danica Freimond (pictured on the right with my husband, Sean). I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. I work from the person-centred approach and place a high value on your innate ability to change and grow. Just because we cannot see a mental health problem, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental health should carry the exact same weight as a broken leg; you wouldn't walk around on a broken leg, don't walk around with untreated mental health problems; reach out for help! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" C. R. Rogers

Do you experience problems with your ability to understand things or to apply your mind to solving problems? Are you burdened by emotional problems for which there are no obvious social, financial, or relationship problems? This could be due to subtle medical problems, or a problem with brain function. Alternatively, are you generally functioning well but would like to function optimally? Assessment of your brain networks and your physical responses to stress (e.g. heart rate variability & muscle tension), may help clarify matters. Do you want to master biological self-regulation to overcome stress and achieve more?

As a clinician and psychotherapist, I see people as unique beings trying their best in life. Challenges come because they find themselves stuck and disconnected from the world. In this way, ineffective patterns are formed between themselves and their systems (i.e. families, social, culture, religion, work, etc.). My initial goal is to understand my clients/patients from their point of view without making assumptions. From there, we move together to create a context for change. Treatment of disorders includes Depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, Grief/loss, relationship problems, and others.

“You will never be able to escape from your heart so it is better to listen to what it has to say.” True connection between a psychologist and a client can bring profound personal growth. A platform can be created for the client to give life to their heart’s yearning – be it a desire to deal with trauma, to improve interpersonal relationships, to navigate through difficult phases of life or even to develop emotional intelligence. When consulting with a psychologist a channel is created for you to hear the true language of your heart.

Are you struggling to perform your daily functions? Do you find it hard to connect with others? Do you experience the need to find yourself?

Address and develop the individual's needs and help them reach their potential. Conflict resolution of the burning issues through insight into the limiting factors.

We all have a pain point that makes us feel like we do not have the resources to cope and deal with them on our own. However, you should not feel alone. Reach out to me and let's figure this out together. I will apply my skills and techniques, while you provide context of your situation or problems and apply the techniques to change and better and deal with your situation or problems. You don't have to feel alone. Reach out!!

I am a registered and experienced Counselling Psychologist in Pretoria East at the Satori Health Centre. I am in the fortunate position to be able to listen to people's stories and I am always profoundly humbled by it. Therapy is a way of storytelling, of unraveling, and becoming whole and I can assist you on this journey to navigate life. I see adults and adolescents for individual therapy and also provide couples therapy.

We all go through our life journeys using different paths which could lead us to an unplanned detour or destination. In such cases we may need someone to hold our hand or guide us to retrace our steps or re-plan our journeys. We could work together to achieve this. I am passionate and enthusiastic about working with young people, adults, couples, and their families. My practice is person-centred and focuses on clients’ personal needs, wants, desires and goals and makes them central to their care. This means allowing clients to define and to prioritise their goals.
