Dr Tanya Defferary
Counseling Psychologist
“We all go through moments in life where sometimes things may feel overwhelming or we may want to explore and grow our personal purpose.”
About Me
I am a Counseling Psychologist in Theescombe, Eastern Cape, South Africa. I support individuals and families with behaviour or conduct problems, family and relationship difficulties, parenting support, adoption concerns, and low self-esteem through individual therapy.
Approach
At times when things feel heavy or you're ready to explore your sense of purpose, I focus on practical, paced sessions that balance immediate coping with deeper change. In my Gqeberha consulting room and via English-language online appointments I listen for patterns in behaviour and relationships, inviting families or parents when helpful and using targeted therapies to process distress and build new responses. Sessions are collaborative and task-oriented, with gentle experiments and reflections between meetings to track progress. This way often suits adults, young people and parents seeking clearer direction and steadier relationships.
