Couples Psychologists in Cape Town

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a private practice based at Life St Vincent's at Life Vincent Palloti Hospital in Pinelands, Cape Town. I have worked with a range of age groups and populations - informing me of the differences, and the commonalities in the human experience.

I have been in practice for many years and offer a warm, intelligent and relaxed space. I am especially interested in working with couples. Although I prefer having conversations face-to-face, I do also work online.

My aim and goal as a psychotherapist is to facilitate growth, self-awareness and change in clients to be able to better manage their difficulties and reach fulfillment in all areas of their lives, empower themselves and work towards self-actualisation.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of techniques tailored to your unique needs, and circumstances. I firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing, which is why I collaborate closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan.

I have practices in Stellenbosch and Cape Town (Gardens) and work from a psychodynamic perspective. The aim of therapy is to explore the root cause of symptoms and to work through unconscious conflicts within the context of the therapeutic relationship. Healing is facilitated through interpretation and self-insight.

I am oriented towards creating meaning for individuals, couples, families and communities.

Hi, I’m Linda. I’m a clinical psychologist who doesn’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. This is why I use a variety of therapeutic techniques that are in line with a client’s specific goals and needs. A practical person at heart, I aim to give clients a toolkit they can use whenever they need it.
