Mrs Michelle Smit

Counseling Psychologist

Online therapy. Available after hours. HPCSA registered counselling psychologist based in Cape Town and specializing in addiction therapy.

About Me

I work with individuals navigating the complexities of addiction, offering compassionate online therapy. As an HPCSA registered Counseling psychologist, I provide a safe, confidential space for you. My approach, informed by my MA in Psychology and ongoing PhD studies, helps you build resilience. Flexible after-hours appointments make support accessible, helping you integrate therapy into your life for lasting well-being.

Approach

Working online, often in the evening, I create a steady, predictable space where we can tackle the tangled patterns of addiction at a pace that fits your life. Sessions balance focused exploration of triggers and choices with practical coping steps you try between meetings, then we review what helps and adjust. I listen for strengths you already use and invite small experiments that build confidence and daily structure. People juggling work, relationships or study usually find this paced, pragmatic way of working supportive.
