Mrs Nokwanda Khumalo du Plessis

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist with over 14 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and couples. I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and in different settings. My practice focuses on treating depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD and trauma.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for adults, adolescents, and couples navigating difficult emotions. With over 14 years of experience, I help individuals explore challenges like depression, anxiety, and trauma. I understand these experiences can affect anyone, regardless of background. We can work together to find clarity and practical ways forward, ensuring you feel truly heard.

Approach

Having worked across different settings, I tailor session pace and focus to your needs, blending gentle reflection with practical steps when mood, anxiety or traumatic memories feel overwhelming. Sessions are collaborative: we set small, manageable goals, notice what shifts between meetings, and I offer concrete tools to try in daily life. I see people in Underberg, KwaZulu‑Natal and online, with sessions in English, isiXhosa or isiZulu. This way of working often helps those navigating transitions or wanting steadier coping.
