Clinical Psychologist

“Fatimah is experienced in both the private and public sector. She is competent in a range of assessment and therapeutic modalities.”

About Me

I offer a flexible, experienced approach to psychological support. My background spans both private and public sectors. This allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs. In sessions, we explore your experiences together, selecting approaches that genuinely help you find clarity and move forward. This personalised way of working is ideal for those seeking an adaptable space. Here, you can understand challenges and develop effective strategies for well-being.

Approach

My practice blends structured assessment with a flexible, collaborative pace so therapy is shaped around your presenting concerns and how you prefer to work. I see clients in Durban, meeting in English in a private, respectful space where assessment findings guide our focus and conversations stay practical and relevant. Sessions often combine careful diagnostic feedback with hands-on strategies, short experiments between meetings and attention to safety and coping when trauma, anxiety or grief arise. People seeking clear, tailored direction tend to find this way of working helpful.
