Mr David Coleman

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Saxonwold, Gauteng, South Africa. I offer psychodynamic therapy for concerns such as abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, and men’s issues.”

About Me

I’m a clinical psychologist working mainly with adolescents and adults in private practice. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, focusing on how unconscious processes and early life experiences shape your current life. I also work from a relational perspective, paying close attention to your social context and relationships, and how these influence your experiences.

Approach

Starting therapy isn’t always easy. It can feel exposing or unsettling at times, and you might notice moments of hesitation or self-doubt along the way. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported, so you can explore things at your own pace without becoming overwhelmed. My approach is warm and holding.
