Dr Renee Small
Clinical Psychologist
“As a Clinical Psychologist specialising in child & adolescent psychology, I employ a developmental perspective to provide evidence-based interventions. I am committed to fostering holistic growth, tailoring treatments to meet the unique needs of each client, promoting resilience & facilitating healthy development.”
About Me
I offer a supportive space where children and adolescents can explore their feelings and grow. Understanding each young person’s unique developmental stage, I tailor evidence-based approaches to help them navigate challenges. My aim is to nurture their resilience, ensuring treatments genuinely fit their world to foster holistic well-being. This individualised approach is ideal for families seeking a compassionate path to healthy development.
Approach
Therapy here moves from gentle curiosity into practical, stage‑appropriate work that helps young people name what’s happening and try manageable changes. In my Makhanda office or via English teletherapy, sessions follow a steady rhythm—short, active tasks, playful experiments and brief check‑ins that link feelings, thinking and behaviour between meetings. I pace interventions to each person’s readiness, include caregivers when helpful, and track small shifts over time. This approach suits families seeking clear, doable steps toward stronger day‑to‑day functioning.
