Mr Tyler Barberis

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“An experienced and competent clinical psychologist. I work in-person and online and from a psychodynamic standpoint, aiming to help my patients better understand themselves and the problems which they are confronted with.”

About Me

I approach our work from a psychodynamic standpoint, helping you explore the deeper roots of your current difficulties. Together, we will gently uncover recurring patterns and gain clearer self-understanding. This process aims to bring lasting insight, enabling new ways to navigate life's challenges. Available both in-person and online, my goal is to provide a consistent, confidential space where you can truly make sense of your experiences.

Approach

A focus on understanding guides how I work: sessions move at a measured, reflective pace where we track feelings, relationships and recurring reactions to illuminate what lies beneath. In Sandton or via secure online sessions in English, I balance careful listening with gentle challenge, offering observations, short reflections between meetings and practical experiments you can try to test new ways of relating. This approach often suits adults and couples navigating transitions, loss or persistent patterns who want deeper clarity and steady, collaborative change.
