Mrs Estelle Wranz

Clinical Psychologist

“An open-minded and compassionate psychologist.”

About Me

This clinical psychologist offers an open-minded and compassionate space where clients can explore their challenges. Drawing on techniques like BWRT Level 2, they guide individuals to understand and gently shift unhelpful patterns. This direct, evidence-based approach helps people find practical ways to move forward. It’s a good match for those ready to create clarity and foster lasting positive change in their lives.

Approach

Open curiosity and warmth shape how I approach sessions, focusing on small, practical shifts that feel doable alongside life. In my Cape Town office, in English or Afrikaans, we work at a steady, paced rhythm that honours your timing and safety. Sessions blend focused in-room exercises with brief, practical tasks to try between meetings, helping untangle patterns linked to anxiety, grief, trauma or burnout. This approach often fits adolescents and adults seeking clear, manageable steps toward lasting change.
