Mr Anton Böhmer

Clinical Psychologist

Experienced working in South Afrika and UK, with adults and assessment of memory difficulties and dementia.

About Me

In addition to individual psychoitherapy with adults, I provide a supportive, clear pathway for adults navigating memory concerns. Drawing on my clinical experience in South Africa and the UK, I specialise in the professional assessment of memory difficulties and possible dementia. I guide individuals to understand cognitive changes, offering precise insights and compassionate support. My approach helps those seeking clarity about their memory health find practical next steps. I work closely with various psychiatrists, neurologists and other profesionals who I refer to for further assessment and intervention (such as medication) as needed.

Approach

Sessions focus on creating a steady, practical rhythm that helps make sense of memory changes and everyday worries while keeping the pace calm and purposeful. In my Stellenbosch practice I work in English and Afrikaans, structuring assessments and conversations so information is clear and immediately useful for clients and their families. I combine targeted cognitive tasks with reflective dialogue, offering concise feedback and small, actionable steps to try between meetings. This approach suits adults and older people seeking straightforward understanding and manageable next steps.
