Mrs Lara Kruger

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

A qualified clinical psychologist working with adults, adolescents, children and families. Special interest in pre- and postpartum women and identity work.

About Me

I help adults, adolescents, children, and families navigate life's challenges. My work particularly supports pre- and postpartum women, guiding them through significant transitions. We can explore evolving identities together, making sense of your experiences in a safe, collaborative space. This approach helps clients understand their feelings, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Approach

I pace sessions to your needs—sometimes quietly reflective, sometimes focused on practical skills to steady mood and manage stress. Working online or in Cape Town, I combine conversational exploration with brief assessments when helpful to make sense of patterns across adolescence, parenting and perinatal transitions. Between sessions we set small, achievable steps and check-ins so insights translate into everyday change. This way of working suits people seeking gentle challenge and clear direction during life shifts.
