Miss Natasha Merlo
Psychotherapist
“I am a registered clinical social worker and psychotherapist working in private practice in Somerset West. I provide individual psychotherapy, group therapy, support and treatment to individuals and families struggling and/or living with the impact of mental illness and addiction.”
About Me
Living with mental illness or addiction can feel overwhelming for individuals and families. I offer a dedicated space to gently explore these challenges through individual psychotherapy or group support. We'll work together to understand their impact, finding practical ways to cope and build resilience. This approach helps those seeking a supportive guide to navigate their journey towards stability.
Approach
When overwhelm feels constant, I create a calm, structured space to explore what’s happening and restore steadiness. Sessions take place in Somerset West or online, in English, and move at a steady pace that mixes focused conversation with practical tasks to try between meetings. Together we map triggers, build coping skills for anxiety, mood shifts and addictive patterns, and practice relapse prevention and stress management. Those seeking steady, hands-on support often find this way of working helpful.
