Female Depression Psychologists in Cape Town

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: To assist in identifying the root cause of emotional and behavioural concerns and to guide my patients in making lasting changes.

I am a compassionate and ethical therapist who aims to provide a safe and confidential space for clients to express themselves freely.

As a Clinical Psychologist, my passion is to come alongside you on your journey towards healing and increased self-awareness. Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues you are grappling with. I am here to listen and support you. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults with a wide variety of life challenges.

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 am dedicated to supporting the holistic development and well-being of children and adolescents by identifying and addressing barriers to learning, emotional growth, and social functioning. I provide comprehensive psycho-educational assessments, therapeutic interventions, and consultative services.

Please note that the private practice of Leyya Vaid is temporarily closed. I offer online evidence based treatment services and psychotherapy to patients, working authentically and collaboratively to help them achieve their therapeutic goals.

My primary aim is to provide that one, unique space where you are able to fully be yourself, be seen for who you are, and have your true self understood, affirmed, and valued. I aim to provide an open, non-judgmental, warm, and empathic environment within which clients can feel safe while journeying unknown waters.

Life’s challenges can feel heavy, but growth often begins in a safe, nurturing space. Like a garden, you thrive when seen, supported, and given room to grow. I offer a compassionate space to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you build resilience, clarity, and a deeper sense of self.
