About Me
Dr Michelle Vlok-Barnard offers warm, empathetic outpatient care for adults aged 18 to 60. She supports clients navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, OCD, and trauma. Her holistic, individually tailored approach ensures your care is always evidence-based and precisely suited. This creates a supportive environment for clients seeking understanding and practical ways forward.
Approach
Support centres on combining practical strategies with reflective conversation to help you work through common difficulties such as low mood, overwhelming worry, obsessive thoughts or traumatic memories. Sessions are offered in Cape Town and online, in English or Afrikaans, and are paced to your needs—focused yet unhurried. I clarify symptoms, set collaborative goals, use evidence-informed techniques alongside careful medication review when appropriate, and encourage small, achievable steps between appointments. This way of working suits adults seeking clear direction and thoughtful support.
