Ms Maryke Woolf

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Cape Town CBD providing psychological services to adults and couples.”

About Me

Taking the step to seek support is brave. I work with adults and couples, offering a confidential space where we explore personal challenges or relationship dynamics. Together, we can understand difficulties and develop practical ways forward. This tailored approach helps you gain clarity and build resilience. It’s a good match for those seeking genuine understanding and lasting change.

Approach

In central Cape Town I keep sessions focused and collaborative, helping you break complex experiences into manageable steps. Sessions blend careful assessment with reflective dialogue and practical planning, offered face-to-face or online in English or Afrikaans. Between meetings we use short exercises or check-ins to track small shifts so change feels steady and achievable, particularly with life transitions, mood difficulties, trauma or relationship strain. This way of working suits people seeking clear, respectful support toward sustained progress.
