Psychologists and Therapists for Adults in Newlands East
I have over 18 years of experience helping adults, teens and families in crisis.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by relationship stress or disconnected from their sense of self. They are caring, capable people who have often been the “strong one” for others but now find themselves wondering, “Who supports me?” Others are navigating life transitions, identity questions or family conflicts, wanting to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone and you don’t have to do it alone.

I would use both the intrapersonal relationship (relationship with oneself) and the therapeutic relationship to gain insight into the client's patterns, the cause, and triggers. The therapeutic relationship is often used to both heal previous interpersonal injuries and as a foundation for other relationships.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in South Africa hold various credentials depending on their training. Psychologists and Registered Counsellors must be registered with the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Psychologists have professional designations such as Clinical Psychologist or Counselling Psychologist. General Counsellors are often registered with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by ASCHP. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
