Ms Maite Rabothata

CBT Psychotherapist

A qualified, experienced, compassionate and passionate Clinical Psychologist who specializes in individual, group, couple and family therapy.

About Me

I offer compassionate support for individuals, couples, families, and groups navigating life's complexities. I specialise in helping you understand challenges and develop practical strategies, often using CBT. Together, we can explore thoughts and feelings to build resilience and foster stronger connections. My goal is a space where you feel truly heard. Here, we can work together to make meaningful changes for a more fulfilling life.

Approach

Qualified training guides a calm, purposeful pace where I help you name priorities and turn them into manageable steps. In sessions I balance focused CBT exercises with space to process feelings, tailoring homework and check-ins to what fits your life in Cape Town or online, conducted in English. I pay close attention to cultural context, developmental stage and relationship patterns so therapy stays practical and rooted in your reality. People navigating transitions, loss, identity shifts or relational strain often find this steady, collaborative approach helpful.
