Ms Melody Crafford
Clinical Psychologist
verified by TherapyRoute
“I have been in Private Practice since 2007. My passion stems from Attachment Theory and our innate need to connect with others and form healthy relationships. I also have experience in treating psychiatric disorders (such as: Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)”
About Me
I support individuals navigating complex emotions and psychiatric disorders, helping them build healthier relationships. My approach is rooted in Attachment Theory, understanding our innate need for connection. We explore how past relational patterns influence experiences with anxiety, depression, OCD, or PTSD. This helps you understand your struggles, fostering stability and more authentic connections.
Approach
Rooted in attachment thinking, sessions are steady and paced to help you notice patterns in relationships and emotional reactions. In my Gqeberha office or during English-language online sessions we work collaboratively: I offer gentle challenges, practical skills and psychoeducation between meetings so new ways of relating can be practiced and refined. When trauma or mood symptoms feel overwhelming, I help you anchor safety, track triggers and build clearer routines that support stability. This way of working tends to suit adolescents and adults seeking thoughtful, relational change.
