Mr Emile Du Toit
Psychologist
“I am an experienced, compassionate and versatile clinical psychologist working within the Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy paradigm. This model is results based and highly effective. I believe that the path to heal and wellness lies in healing both psychological and physical problems. I consult both online and in-person.”
About Me
Approach
I am a Cognitive Therapist, who is a skilled practitioner of various therapeutic areas within CBT. The various therapeutic areas within CBT that I offer are listed below. Ultimately, all these therapeutic disciplines operate within the same Cognitive Therapy model, with the same understanding of how issues are created and how we can resolve them.
There is merely a slightly different emphasis, in some cases, or in others an approach was developed to be able to obtain better results in certain areas of Cognitive Therapy.
Modalities within Cognitive Therapy that I use in my practice include:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Rational Emotive Therapy
Schema Therapy
Dialectic Behavior Therapy
