Dr Jean Luyt

Clinical Psychologist

Jean Luyt is a Clinical Psychologist working from a Schema Therapy perspective. She sees individuals, couples and families, and focusses primarily on adoptive families and adoptees.

About Me

Working with individuals, couples, and families, this Clinical Psychologist offers a supportive space to explore life's complexities. They specialise in guiding adoptive families and adoptees through unique challenges. Sessions focus on understanding connections and fostering open communication. This approach helps clients navigate identity, belonging, and relationship dynamics, building stronger bonds. It's a place where everyone can feel heard and understood.

Approach

With people navigating adoption, identity and attachment, I unfold therapy as a paced, curiosity-led exploration that links past experiences with present patterns. In Cape Town or online in English, my sessions combine focused schema mapping, gentle challenge and experiential work, giving parents, adolescents and couples space to try new responses. Between sessions I suggest brief reflections or practical tasks to test changes safely and strengthen trust. This way of working suits those seeking thoughtful, collaborative change around belonging and connection.
