Mr Mark Steyn

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist based in Claremont, working with individual adolescents (16+) and adults.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful space in Claremont for adolescents aged 16 and adults. I help individuals navigate complex emotions and life transitions. Together, we can explore underlying patterns and develop practical strategies for lasting change. My approach supports those seeking clarity, resilience, and a deeper understanding of themselves. I aim to create a collaborative environment where you feel heard and understood.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a careful conversation that balances reflection with practical steps, helping you make sense of patterns and try new ways of coping. Whether we meet in Claremont or online, and work in English or Afrikaans, I keep sessions paced to suit adolescents and adults, often mixing focused assessment, psychodynamic exploration and goal-linked tasks between meetings. I invite honest feedback and adapt the work to your rhythm, which tends to suit people navigating transitions, anxiety or shifting mood who want clearer coping strategies.
