Dr Joan Schön
Clinical Psychologist
“An experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist working predominantly with adults.”
About Me
I offer a thoughtful space for adults to deeply explore long-standing patterns and their roots. As an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I guide you to understand how past experiences shape your present. We can work together to make sense of complex feelings and foster profound self-discovery. This approach suits those ready to delve into deeper influences for lasting change.
Approach
With adult clients, I focus on how early relationships and repeated patterns surface in your relationships and choices, guiding a careful exploratory conversation. I see people in Johannesburg and online in English, keeping sessions paced to your rhythm and attentive to emotional detail. Sessions blend open listening, reflective questions and attention to unconscious themes, and I may offer brief reflections between meetings to deepen insight. This way of working tends to suit those ready to explore beneath surface reactions for more lasting understanding.
