Zarius

Mr Zarius Grove

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“I have a keen interest in attachment and development. My framework is predominately psychodynamic with a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship.”

About Me

I help individuals explore how early experiences and relationships shape their present. Our work together focuses on building a trusting connection, allowing us to understand your unique patterns. This psychodynamic approach is ideal if you're seeking to make sense of deep-seated feelings or recurring relationship challenges. Sessions offer a calm, supportive environment to foster your personal growth and development.

Approach

Attachment and early development guide how I follow what emerges in session, attending to subtle patterns in feeling and behaviour rather than imposing explanations. I work from Sandton, offering English and Afrikaans sessions and online meetings so families and individuals can choose what fits their life. Sessions move at a thoughtful pace: for children that often means play-based noticing and gentle scaffolding, for adolescents and adults it means reflective questions, timely interpretations and practical steps between sessions. This approach tends to help those wanting clearer sense of why patterns repeat and how to shift them.
