Mrs Lindsey Schwartz

Psychologist

Verified

“I have a special interest in working with depression, anxiety and trauma across the life span. I work with couples and do both premarital counselling as well as couples counselling. I treat fertility difficulties, postpartum depression, miscaridge & loss. I am skilled in psychological assessments.”

About Me

I am a registered psychologist based in Boksburg, Gauteng, South Africa. I treat addiction, anxiety, mood and conduct disorders and perform child diagnostic assessments. I offer relationship counseling, mindfulness training and play therapy for children and families.

Approach

From my Boksburg practice I set a steady, collaborative pace to help untangle mood or anxiety difficulties and trauma-related challenges alongside relationship or fertility stresses. Sessions mix focused dialogue, short mindfulness exercises and clear between-session tasks, available in English or Afrikaans, online or in person, and adapted for adults, couples or children. Assessments shape practical goals and I check progress regularly so change feels tangible, using play-based activities when appropriate. This way of working suits people seeking practical, compassionate support that leads to real change.
