Mrs Louise Malan, MA

Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 31 years experience. I work with adults and offer in person and online therapy. My approach is psychoanalytic.

About Me

I offer a steady space for adults to explore their inner world. With many years of experience, I guide you to understand how past experiences might shape your present feelings and patterns. We work together to make sense of deeper dynamics, fostering lasting personal insight. This approach is ideal if you seek to uncover the roots of recurring challenges. It can foster profound self-understanding and emotional growth. This can assist you to change relationship patterns and foster a healthier relationship with yourself.
