This page lists Female Psychotherapists in Cape Town. 7 in all.
That is 7 of the 8 psychotherapists listed in Cape Town.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
What this page filters on
Everyone on this list gave psychotherapist as their professional title and described themselves as female. Nothing else narrows the list.
The Cape Town page answers more questions about therapy there.

Who registers therapists in South Africa?
South Africa has no separate register for the title psychotherapist. A psychotherapist must register with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), most often as a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Regulations still in force (R993 of 2008) place the use of any psychotherapeutic method within the scope of psychology. You can check a name on the HPCSA iRegister.
