This page lists Black Female Psychologists in Pretoria. 25 in all.
That is 25 of the 99 psychologists listed in Pretoria.
These are practitioners who identify as Black on their profile. It is their own answer to a profile question. We do not check it, and nothing here is ranked.
The request is usually narrower: a practitioner who will name race early, without you having to explain yourself. Some family therapy approaches recommend the therapist raise it near the start 1. You can ask a practitioner how they handle it.
Why people ask for a woman, and what the evidence says
This list answers an explicit request for a woman 2. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 3. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Black identity, the practitioner's stated Female identity and the professional title psychologist.

Who registers therapists in South Africa?
Titles you will see include Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist and Educational Psychologist. Search the register by name at Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). A current entry is that body's own published record of the person.
In South Africa psychologists and social workers must be registered to practise. No statute protects the plain title counsellor. See the South Africa page.
