CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST CAPE TOWN
WHO I AM
I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Kenilworth, Cape Town. I specialise in cognitive-behavioural therapy with adults, adolescents and couples. I have spent the last 10 years working in both inpatient and outpatient environments with a range of psychological problems. This has included time spent gaining specialist expertise working in inpatient settings with both addiction patients and adolescents. After directing an inpatient drug-rehabilitation centre in 2006, I chose to make the move into private practice, where I currently see clients with a variety of psychological conditions.
AREAS OF SPECIALITY
I run a general practice, but have particular interest in treating:
- Addiction, including chemical addictions to alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, and behavioural addictions.
- Trauma and grief, including current trauma, early childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, ongoing trauma and grief.
- Anxiety disorders, including social anxiety, panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, specific phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar mood disorder.
- Adolescent disorders, including oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder and separation anxiety disorder.
- General coping strategies, including stress-reduction, conflict management, assertiveness training and anger management.
- Other psychological conditions, including personality disorders and psychosis.
