Janet Byrnes

Counseling Psychologist

An experienced Psychologist who is able to assist with scholastic assessments, individual therapy, play therapy and couples counselling.

About Me

As an experienced Psychologist, I provide a warm, practical space for individuals, couples, and families. I help children express feelings through play, guiding them towards understanding. For couples, I support clearer communication and stronger connections. I also offer scholastic assessments to clarify learning needs. Clients gain practical insights and understanding, helping them find grounded steps towards well-being.

Approach

Helping with assessments, individual work, play-based sessions and couples counselling, I centre each meeting on practical, achievable steps so change feels tangible. In Gqeberha and online, in English, I keep sessions structured yet flexible — predictable routines, clear goals and time to reflect between meetings. With children I invite symbolic play to reveal concerns gently; with adults and couples I use focused exercises and careful feedback, and assessment findings are shared in plain language. This approach suits people looking for collaborative, down-to-earth progress.
