Mr Anthony Townsend

Neuropsychologist

“A clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety & depression using CBT as well as neuropsychological & forensic assessment”

About Me

For individuals navigating anxiety or depression, this clinical psychologist offers a clear path forward. They apply Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help develop practical strategies for managing challenging thoughts and feelings. Drawing on a strong neuropsychological background, their comprehensive approach also includes detailed neuropsychological and forensic assessments. This provides invaluable clarity for complex situations. Clients appreciate a structured, evidence-based style, finding support for greater emotional well-being and resilience.

Approach

Specialising in treatment for anxiety or low mood, I structure sessions around clear, achievable goals, using CBT techniques informed by neuropsychology and focused assessments. In Sandton, Gauteng, sessions are held in English and move at a deliberate pace, pairing focused in-session skill practice with brief practical tasks between appointments. When diagnostic or medico-legal clarity is required I integrate targeted testing to sharpen treatment steps and track change, explaining findings in plain, collaborative terms. Those who prefer structured, evidence-grounded collaboration usually find this way of working useful.
