Ms Tina Julia Mendelsohn, MA

Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I am a compassionate, open minded clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I work with adults and I offer both in person and online therapy.”

About Me

I offer an open and compassionate space where you can explore persistent life and emotional challenges, a space where you can gain in depth understanding of long standing patterns and unconscious dynamics which are keeping these patterns in place. I offer a non-judgmental, thinking space where you can talk freely and make connections between your past experiences and current difficulties, aiming for in depth understanding, the processing of complex feelings and ultimately creating lasting change.

Approach

With an emphasis on exploring recurring emotional patterns and the questions that sit beneath them, I help you to trace emotional threads that shape present struggles. I am based in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, offering both in person and online appointments. This process offers profound insight and is ideal for those seeking deep self-understanding and lasting change.
