Starting a therapeutic process is often daunting, and I want to commend you on taking the first step.
Many individuals choose to begin this journey when faced with difficult circumstances, however this need not always be the case. Therapy enables a space for personal growth and self-exploration – so there really is no right or wrong reason to be here.

hello, I'm Lindi

I am a registered clinical psychologist based in Cape Town. I offer individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults, and have experience in working with:

  • Depression and other mood-related difficulties
  • Anxiety-related difficulties
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance-related difficulties
  • Personality disorders
  • Loss and bereavement
ABOUT MY APPROACH
My approach can be described as integrative or ‘holistic’.

Using an individualistic approach allows me to incorporate a variety of modalities tailored to your needs. I believe in the importance of a collaborative process and encourage you to be an active participant in your therapeutic journey. Together, we will explore how past difficulties and ways of relating could be influencing your present experience.

     The aim in therapy is to create a deeper understanding of yourself (or ‘the self’) and ultimately to create a life that is worth living for you. This involves finding balance in all areas of your life including the physical, emotional, social, occupational, and spiritual realms.
