Ms Jenine Smith, MA

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced clinical psychologist who uses an integrated orientation to assist adults, adolescents, children and couples.”

About Me

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I help adults, adolescents, children, and couples navigate life's complexities. My integrated approach means we tailor our work, drawing on various tools to understand your unique challenges. We'll explore what truly fits your needs, fostering growth and clarity for individuals and families alike. This flexible support creates a space where everyone can find their way forward.

Approach

Therapy takes shape as collaborative problem-solving, where we map patterns, test small changes and track what genuinely helps you. Whether we meet in Parow or online in English, sessions follow a predictable, gentle rhythm—brief check-in, focused exploration, and practical steps to try between meetings. Assessments and family-focused reflections inform choices, and for perinatal, trauma or mood-related struggles I balance careful pacing with evidence-informed techniques so you feel steadier. People managing anxiety, shifting moods or parenting strains tend to find this steady, hands-on way of working useful.
