Mr Bryan Hellmann

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist in private practice for over 20 years, I work with people facing a diverse and broad range of issues. I also work with addiction, grief, divorce and loss.”

About Me

With over 20 years as a clinical psychologist, I support individuals facing a broad range of life's challenges. I help people find a way through difficult transitions, including addiction, grief, divorce, and loss. We can work together to explore your unique experiences and make sense of difficult feelings. My extensive experience means I can tailor our sessions to your needs, helping you build resilience.

Approach

When you arrive for sessions, I aim for clear, steady progress: we assess what’s happening, set manageable goals and try practical steps that feel relevant to you. I work with adults, families and young people in Cape Town and online, in English, and often use focused assessment, homework between meetings and brief experiential techniques to shift patterns. Sessions tend to balance careful listening with concrete interventions—sometimes involving loved ones or targeted approaches like guided relaxation. People facing transitions, trauma or addictive patterns often find this pace helpful.
