Mrs Talia Potgieter

Clinical Psychologist

“An open minded therapist with a patient-centered, trauma informed and psychodynamic focus. Long or short term therapy. Helping patients who are seeking support with relationships, depression and anxiety, parenting, self-development, trauma, grief, or general life challenges.”

About Me

This open-minded therapist offers patient-centred support for various life challenges. They guide individuals navigating relationships, depression, anxiety, parenting, trauma, or grief. With a psychodynamic and trauma-informed focus, sessions offer a safe space for deep exploration of patterns. This fosters self-development and new approaches to life. This approach suits those seeking lasting change, in short or long-term therapy.

Approach

Therapy unfolds at your pace, blending careful listening with gentle challenge to explore how past patterns shape mood, anxiety and relationships. I meet adolescents and adults in Hermanus and online, offering sessions in English or Afrikaans and a steady, clear structure so you know what to expect. We track patterns in-session and use brief between-session observations and grounding practices to test new responses and reduce overwhelm. This approach often fits people who want steady, practical progress toward more manageable days.
