Mr Rod Anderson

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced Jungian analyst doing psychoanalytic psychotherapy and supervision”

About Me

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a space for profound self-discovery. As an experienced Jungian analyst, I guide individuals to explore their inner world, helping them understand unconscious patterns that haunt our everyday life and relationships. This approach suits those seeking lasting change and personal growth. It is particularly helpful if you are drawn to exploring dreams or recurring life themes. I also provide clinical supervision, supporting other professionals in their practice.

Approach

Therapy with me moves at a thoughtful, exploratory pace, attending to images, dreams and the patterns that quietly shape your life. I meet people in Cape Town, working in English through regular, in-person sessions that balance reflective depth with clear, practical focus. We track associations, relational patterns and affect, using careful listening and timely interpretation; between sessions I may invite dream journals or short reflections to extend the work. Adults seeking steadier relationships and deeper self-understanding often find this pace and attention helpful.
