Dr Carla Nel

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“Experienced clinical psychologist, with a solution-focused approach to family therapy. Provides personal development/supervision services for therapists.”

About Me

Families often seek support when feeling stuck. I guide them using a solution-focused approach, helping to identify strengths and develop practical steps for clear, forward-looking change. This collaborative style is ideal for families ready to build on their resources and find new ways forward. Additionally, I offer personal development and supervision, supporting therapists in enhancing their skills and practice. My aim is to foster positive change for both families and fellow professionals.

Approach

When families arrive feeling stuck, my work looks for small, practical shifts that build momentum and restore clearer patterns of interaction. Sessions in Bloemfontein or via secure online meetings, offered in Afrikaans and English, are steady and focused — we set a specific aim, try brief, doable steps between meetings, then review what changed. For therapists in supervision, I emphasise reflective practice and concrete skill development so learning translates into everyday work. This approach suits families and professionals ready for pragmatic, forward-moving change.
