Mrs Nicolene Scott

Clinical Psychologist

“Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Somerset West. Particular interests include depression, anxiety, maternal health, parenting & infant mental health.”

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety? As a Clinical Psychologist in Somerset West, I offer a calm, supportive space. I help adults navigate the unique challenges of maternal health and early parenting. We explore difficult feelings and develop practical ways to manage daily life. Together, we can also focus on strengthening the parent-infant bond and understanding your child’s early emotional world. My goal is to help you find clarity and a path forward.

Approach

You’ll find a steady, practical rhythm that helps turn overwhelming moments into manageable steps. I see people in Somerset West and online across Cape Town, working in English, and often offer brief between-session check-ins or small, doable exercises to build momentum. In-session we track mood and anxiety patterns, explore maternal and parenting concerns with reflective listening, and try simple behavioural experiments and routines to ease daily life. This way of working often suits parents and adults wanting clear, practical support on tough days.
