Mrs Kevashini Govender-Naidoo

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“I am a UCT trained clinical psychologist with approximately 23 years of clinical experience and expertise in working therapeutically with adults who present with a variety of mental health and relationship difficulties. I am registered with the HPCSA and maintain a confidential, ethical and empathic service.”

About Me

With over two decades of experience, this UCT-trained Clinical Psychologist supports adults. They address diverse mental health and relationship difficulties. Clients find an empathic service, exploring complex challenges in a confidential, ethical space. This robust experience ensures a grounded, understanding approach. It provides an ideal match for those seeking a seasoned professional to find clarity and wellbeing.

Approach

Years of practice have taught me to move at a steady, practical pace that balances attentive listening with gentle challenge so change feels manageable. In Cape Town I offer English sessions both in person and online, keeping sessions structured, safely contained and focused on what matters most to you. We explore patterns—anger, anxiety, grief, stress or relational strains—using reflective dialogue, brief assessment where helpful, and small between-session experiments to test new ways of coping. This approach tends to suit adults and couples seeking steady, practical progress.
