Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is a personalised process. This process is tailored to your needs. These needs could be to achieve certain goals or to relieve distress. It can also be to change any unfulfilling aspects of your life. As a Clinical Psychologist, I then explore your experience and interactions empathically. Thereafter, I link this to your sense of dissatisfaction. I can then assist you in addressing your distress.

Psychotherapy is a combined effort between an individual and the Psychologist. It is thus an intricate and personalised process. Psychotherapy is subsequently tailored to each client’s specific challenges or needs. It follows that the therapeutic process is unique for each client.

Together

Couples Therapy

Most couples benefit from Couple’s Therapy at different stages in the relationship. Couples Therapy can increase satisfaction and fulfillment in a relationship. This is done by exploring the patterns that underlie the challenges that you face.

Shared Spaces

Family Therapy

Family Therapy creates a space where family members help each other to negotiate their current challenges. It creates a safe environment where families can have difficult discussions.

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers you a space where you can relate to others who often have similar challenges or feelings. Group therapy can provide you additional support in coping with stressful life events, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. A group may ease your sense of isolation, improve your social skills and teach you about yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any time your quality of life isn’t what you want it to be, psychotherapy can help. In addition, signs that you could benefit from therapy include:

  • A sense of overwhelming, prolonged feeling of helplessness and sadness.
  • None of your efforts or help from your friends seem to improve your problems.
  • Or, you find it difficult to concentrate on work or to carry out everyday activities.
  • As well as, excessive worry, expecting the worst or constantly feeling on edge.
  • Finally, your actions are harming you or others. This could include drinking too much alcohol, using drugs or being aggressive.

A session is usually 50 minutes, depending on the needs of the client.

Online:

  • Ensure you bring tissues and maybe a glass of water.
  • Make sure you are in a quiet and private space, preferably not your bedroom.
  • I can only ensure privacy for my side of the therapeutic relationship. As such, you will need to put in some measures to ensure that your sessions are safe and confidential.
  • Find a quiet, well-lit space away from any distractions. It is important that you feel safe and comfortable in your space.
  • Also, ensure that your session cannot be overheard by other people.
  • Headphones may assist you to hear clearly, block out noises. It also maximises privacy by ensuring only one side of the conversation can be heard.
  • For increased privacy, you could also consider playing white noise by your door.
  • Test your device’s camera and microphone settings.
  • Set up your device at eye-level to optimise comfort and minimise camera movement.
  • Check that you feel comfortable with the software.
  • Make sure that you connect to a private and stable network.
  • Consider who has access to your computer and electronic information from your location. Can confidentiality from your work or personal computer be compromised?
  • Only use a computer that you know is safe and where you can ensure your confidentiality.
  • Finally, turn on ‘Do Not Disturb’ or ‘Silent’ mode on all your devices to avoid interruptions.

Face-to-Face

  • Expect to feel nervous, many people often do
  • Try and think of things that have brought you to therapy and what you would like to work on
  • Try to arrive as early as reasonably possible for your session

The same clothes you would wear if we were meeting in person, comfortable clothing.

We can claim from the medical aid on your behalf at the tariffs prescribed by the medical aids. My practice manager, manages this process. No excess is payable if there are funds available in your medical savings account. If there are, however, no funds available, you remain responsible for the account. You can pay for your sessions at the end of each session:

  • in cash,
  • by card,
  • via Yoco Link

Yes, the medical aid will pay for psychotherapy if there are funds available in your medical aid. No excess will then be payable. If the medical aid, however, does not pay for the sessions, you will remain responsible for the bill. You may, also, pay for the sessions yourself and then submit the claim to the medical aid.

One can only meet/consult with a psychologist under specific requirements regulated by the ethics and moral codes of the HPCSA, which require a potential client to sign a legal agreement which explains the process of therapy and obligates the practitioner to act in the capacity of their qualifications. My practice operates under these laws thus you can meet and get to know me during the first session, in which I will explain the process of therapy and any other questions you might have. You are also welcome to make an enquiry using the WhatsApp number.

Why consider online therapy?
Online psychotherapy offers the following advantages:

  • Firstly, the safety of your own space may feel more comfortable. This could make it easier to share sensitive information vulnerably.
  • Online psychotherapy is also accessible from anywhere.
  • It further allows added privacy to people concerned about seeing a familiar face in the waiting area.
  • Online psychotherapy requires no physical contact. It is consequently the safest option in managing your risk of contracting COVID-19.
  • In the current COVID-19 climate, masks are required in public spaces. Online psychotherapy thus allows you to see my whole face and facial expressions. It also allows me to see your facial expressions.
  • Finally, it makes therapy more convenient for people who cannot make it to a face-to-face session due to:
    • frequent travelling,
    • inflexible working hours,
    • being based in a more rural area with limited access to psychological resources,
    • unable to leave their homes due to disability or underlying health conditions placing them at high risk of COVID-19 related complications and
    • difficulties with transportation and cannot travel to the practice.
