Dr Amanda Grobler, PhD

Clinical Psychologist

“Compassionate and experienced clinical psychologist working with adults and children”

About Me

As a compassionate and experienced clinical psychologist, I help adults and children understand and navigate their unique emotional landscapes. I offer a supportive space where we can explore challenges together, finding practical ways forward. My aim is for sessions to feel like a calm, collaborative conversation, building resilience at every age. This approach allows me to tailor support to your specific needs and foster growth.

Approach

We focus on one concern at a time, turning complex feelings into clear, manageable steps while keeping the pace gentle and respectful. Sessions in Roodepoort or online, in English or Afrikaans, follow your rhythm and include brief practical tasks between meetings when helpful. With children I draw on play and observational work to make sense of learning or behaviour; with adolescents and adults I combine careful assessment, trauma‑informed reflection and collaborative problem‑solving to build coping skills. This way suits those seeking steady, practical progress.
