Ms Marié le Roux

Clinical Psychologist

“I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express themselves freely, feel heard, and engage in the healing process. By fostering an environment of trust and respect, I aim to support individuals in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and working toward a more integrated and authentic sense of self.”

About Me

As a clinical psychologist specialising in psychodynamic therapy, my approach is grounded in understanding the deep, unconscious processes that shape an individual's thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. I work with adolescents and adults to explore the complex ways in which past experiences, particularly early childhood relationships, influence current psychological functioning.

Approach

I draw on a range of psychodynamic principles, including exploring transference, defense mechanisms, and the therapeutic relationship itself. I believe that by understanding these unconscious factors, clients can achieve lasting change, greater emotional resilience, and more fulfilling relationships.
