Ms Lauren Bock

Clinical Psychologist

I offer psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, however, I adapt this to the needs of the client.

About Me

I offer psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, guiding you to understand deeper patterns influencing your life. My psychodynamic approach adapts to your unique needs. We can explore how past experiences shape your current feelings and behaviours. This adaptable style ensures our sessions truly fit you. It is ideal if you are navigating complex emotions or seeking clarity in relationships. I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely heard.

Approach

Are you navigating life's complexities or seeking clarity? I offer psychodynamic therapy tailored to your needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, or transitioning through life phases. My sessions, available both in-person in Johannesburg or online, focus on exploring the influences of past experiences on your current emotions. I provide compassionate support, especially for those in the LGBTQI+ community. Together, we'll uncover patterns and work towards meaningful insight and growth. Let's connect and embark on this journey of self-discovery
