Stephanie de Raay, MA

Counseling Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

My name is Stephanie de Raay and I’m an HPCSA registered Counselling Psychologist working exclusively online and providing psychotherapeutic services to clients across South Africa. I provide online individual therapy to both adolescents (aged 12 and up) and adults, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support and work with the concerns with which clients present. The decision to begin therapy is often a daunting and anxiety-provoking process, as is finding a therapist that feels like the right fit. Therapy is an incredibly personal journey and, regardless of the reasons for seeking therapy, it is important to note that the relationship that is developed between the therapist and client is critical to the outcome of therapy. I therefore work holistically and collaboratively, taking into account your personal life story, current concerns and goals. I listen with empathy and curiosity, ensuring that the space remains judgment free and accepting so that we can begin your healing journey together.

About Me

Welcome, my name is Stephanie. I am an empathetic and warm Counselling Psychologist offering online psychotherapy to individual teenagers and adults who wish to learn more about themselves, understand and process difficult experiences and live more fulfilling and empowered lives.

Approach

Therapy with me moves at a steady, respectful pace, exploring patterns and emotions with curiosity and practical focus. From Lichtenburg I offer English sessions online, creating a calm virtual space where thoughts can be tested and new responses practiced. Sessions blend reflective listening, gentle challenge and short, concrete experiments you can try between meetings to build confidence and clarity. This approach suits young people and adults looking for thoughtful, collaborative support to turn stuckness into clearer choices.
