Dr Kirschnee Naidoo

Clinical Psychologist

“A dynamic & experienced clinical psychologist who worked in the public sector & now in private practice. Offering both assessment & psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, groups & organizations. I believe that therapy unlocks the many emotions within you & by working through it, you will find your peace.”

About Me

My extensive experience, including time in the public sector, means I understand diverse life challenges. I offer a compassionate space to gently explore the emotions within you. We can work through these feelings together, helping you unlock them and find your unique path to peace. This approach supports individuals, couples, and families in navigating their way forward.

Approach

Therapy with me moves at an intentional, practical pace—balancing structured assessment with open dialogue so you feel heard while we map clear steps forward. In Durban I see clients in person and online, offering sessions in English that fit busy lives. Sessions mix focused exploration of mood, grief or stress with targeted tools, brief between-session tasks and longer assessments when clarity is needed to guide decisions. Those seeking steady, collaborative support through emotional challenges often find this way of working helpful.
