Miss Lerato Raboshakga

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“I am a Clinical Psychologist who believes that true well-being stems from addressing the root causes of mental health challenges, therefore I am passionate about helping my clients develop coping skills, build resilience, and achieve meaningful life changes.”

About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist, I believe lasting well-being comes from exploring the underlying reasons for your struggles. We can work together to understand these root causes, helping you develop practical coping skills and build resilience. My aim is to support you in making meaningful changes that truly enhance your life. This approach suits those ready to delve deeper for genuine, lasting transformation.

Approach

Healing often begins by gently tracing the patterns that fuel your distress, then translating those insights into practical steps you can use day-to-day. In Pretoria I offer sessions in English and Sesotho and provide secure online appointments when distance or schedules make that easier. Sessions tend to balance careful assessment with focused skill-building—safety, clear pacing, and collaborative goals guide our work, with simple between-session tasks to reinforce change. This way of working suits people who want depth plus practical progress.
