Therapists in Cape Town

I have a broad base of experience in clinical psychology in the state and private sector, both in South Africa and abroad. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, different ages, cultures, beliefs and socio-economic status. As such I am able to engage with a wide variety of people and their life experiences. My preference is to see adult patients with mental health problems ranging from adjustment to life changes or difficult life events (eg trauma, divorce, bereavement, chronic illness, family issues) to psychological and personality problems that cause significant distress.

Counselling for eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and grief/loss for individuals 16 years and older. Psychological assessment for all ages (cognitive functioning, grade placement, subject choice, career guidance, screening for ADHD, ASD, study skills, etc.)

Gerda Kriel is a Clinical Psychologist with experience in both private and public sector. She has a special interest in working with infant and maternal mental health challenges, but also sees clients who struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD or phase-of-life-challenges. She views therapy as a collaborative partnership in which both therapist and client join hands in developing the changes the client seeks. Her approach is informed by Narrative therapy, but she also works in more structured modalities such as Eye movement integration and Resource therapy for clients with trauma.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Private Practice in Cape Town CBD since 2006. I provide a safe and confidential space to talk about anything which is bothering you. Feel free to contact me if you would like to chat.

You are confused, you can't understand what you should or shouldn't say or do. You are scared to do it your way. Perhaps you're wrong.Perhaps you aren't good enough...I can help you make sense of what you are experiencing and help you find ways to resolve your problems in your own way and at your own pace.

I work very much with a Humanistic Counselling style that helps clients reach their full potential as human beings. I find that this Client-Centred therapy promotes a safe climate in which I, as the therapist, am empathetic and not judgemental. In this way, I find that the effect of this, the client experiences a sense of acceptance, openness and at the same time receiving unconditional positive regard.

You do not have to wait until you are in crisis before you reach out to a counsellor. One thing in life that is certain is change and facing challenges. Just navigating normal life transitions can be stressful and overwhelming. We are made to be in relationship with one another and when you are going through a difficulty there can be such power and healing in being able to express to someone in confidence what you are experiencing on a physical, emotional, mental and social level. We all need that space where we feel safe, we are able to share in confidence and there is no judgment.

Everybody faces challenges at different stages of life. Some greater than others. I enjoy witnessing the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. I aim is to help the client to focus on their strengths (rather than their weaknesses). Furthermore to capitalise on their strengths and to realise their full potential. In times of crisis people tend to forget that they have actually overcome so much in life already and given the support they will be able to do so again. My motto is: Never Give Up!

As human beings we grow and journey through life, often we experience the need to change and adapt the way in which we deal with crises. We experience internal turmoil, trauma, stress, relationship, work and family troubles and often these situations demands us to deal with them. The client I would like to work with is somebody who recognises their desire to improve their personal coping strategies to deal with these the best they can. The ideal client is somebody who takes that daunting first step to helping themselves by seeking professional help.

I enjoy working with all ages, races, ethnicities and genders/sexualities of our diverse populations in a South African context. I enjoy working with adolescents and children deemed “problematic” by their respective teachers or caretakers. I screen for mental health issues that may need assessment and accurate referral by offering supportive information regarding concerns that may arise.

My name is Blythe Brigg, I am an ASCHP registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with a B.Soc.Sc(Hons) Psychology degree. My true passion in life is psychology, and my travels around the world have given me a unique insight into interacting with people from different cultures and situations. I have a keen interest in working with people who have addiction, trauma, anxiety, and personality disorders, and I believe that teaching my clients tools they can use for the rest of their life is of the utmost importance.

Hi, I’m Louisa, better known as Lulu. I’m a counsellor & coach for all women wanting change, growth & help. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, traumatized, disempowered, or just plain stuck? Do you feel reluctant to divulge this to friends or colleagues? You are not alone. I strive to give my clients a safe, genuine and non-judgmental space to be able to release feelings that are holding them back from living their best life possible. Past or present emotional struggles or negative thoughts so often prevent us from moving forward. Counseling and coaching may just shift that dial and positively change your life.

I am a Registered Counsellor with the HPCSA (PRC 0041815) and have a special interest in working with trauma. I have an overall passion for helping those who feel overwhelmed by life. Often, we do not realise from where these feelings of overwhelm originate. And even if we know, we might need help to address them or improve our situation or well-being. Sometimes overwhelm is related to relationships, finances, parenting, health or work. At other times, we may have experienced a specific traumatic event. This might cause anxiousness, fearfulness, helplessness, restlessness, or an intense sense of feeling out of control.

Mental health affects every single person and how we deal with it is important. If you feel that you need help with any mental health conditions, please feel free to contact me. I understand vulnerability is challenging but best step you can take. Don't allow stress, anxiety, trauma, family, work and relationship to control your life. Remember talking is a humanistic way of being understood. That's why offering you a safe space where you can be completely yourself without judgement and criticism, we can start your healing process. With using counselling interventions and counselling theories your problem can be understood
