Mrs Sarah O'Connell
Counseling Psychologist
“A Counselling Psychologist in Private Practice in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. Services: Psychotherapy and Educational Assessments (including IEB & NSC concessions/accommodations).”
About Me
As a Counseling Psychologist in Pietermaritzburg, I help individuals navigate personal challenges through psychotherapy. I also provide comprehensive educational assessments that clarify learning needs, including for IEB and NSC concessions. My practice offers a calm space to explore your thoughts and find practical ways forward. This makes me a good match for those seeking both emotional support and specific academic guidance.
Approach
Working from my Pietermaritzburg practice shapes a steady, structured way of working: sessions move at a pragmatic pace, balancing emotional exploration with measurable steps informed by assessment findings. I translate observations into clear, shared goals, offer straightforward feedback, and suggest small experiments to try between meetings so learning and coping strategies can be tested in everyday settings. Meetings feel conversational yet focused, with routine check-ins on progress. This way of working often helps families, adolescents and adults seeking clearer insight and practical change.
