Mrs Louise Hartwig
Clinical Psychologist
“I am psychodynamically trained, but tend to balance deeper relational therapeutic work with practical, psychoeducational and systemic approaches depending on the clients needs. I enjoy working with students and adults that are going through phases of life changes, adjusting to new careers and jobs.”
About Me
I offer a balanced approach for students and adults navigating significant life changes, like new careers or jobs. While my foundation is psychodynamic, our sessions will blend deeper relational work with practical, psychoeducational tools. This flexible style helps us explore underlying patterns and develop concrete strategies. I aim to create a space where you can understand your experiences and adapt confidently to new phases.
Approach
Sessions mix reflective depth with clear skills-building, shifting between exploring emotional patterns and planning practical next steps so the work feels both thoughtful and useful. I meet people in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, and keep sessions paced to your rhythm — some visits are exploratory, others focused on tools or short tasks to try between meetings. Assessment and gentle feedback help clarify where patterns live in relationships and at work. This approach suits those navigating career or study transitions who want insight plus actionable change.
