Dr Sanja Kilian, PhD

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

Verified

“I am a clinical psychologist with an interest in anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and psychotic disorder, and I work with all ages. I consider myself lucky to work with clients - it's a partnership.”

About Me

As a clinical psychologist, I offer a collaborative space. We work together to understand and address challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and psychotic disorder. I believe in a genuine partnership, adapting our approach to suit your unique needs, whatever your age. We can explore effective ways to navigate difficulties, fostering resilience and a path forward. This client-centred approach suits anyone seeking a supportive journey.

Approach

That sense of partnership shapes a practical, steady pace: we clarify what matters most, try small experiments in thinking and behaviour, and reflect on what shifts. Sessions in Cape Town or online are in English and Afrikaans and feel focused but gentle, with time for assessment and for untangling difficult memories. Between meetings I encourage simple, doable tasks to anchor new skills and track progress. People facing anxiety, addictive patterns, mood shifts or psychotic experiences often find this blend of clarity and care useful.
