Clinical Psychologist
I’m registered with the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the founder of Botolo Psychological Services. The practice offers individual, couples, and family therapy. Sessions are face- to-face or online according to client’s preferences. I am available to see children aged 7 and above, adolescents and adults.
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with understanding, – true empathy. Yet listening of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know
My fees are always in line with medical aids rates as I am registered with various medical schemes. For client paying in cash, the discounted cash payment of 1000 is payable per session. Cash may be EFT, we do not keep cash in our premises. Appointment cancellation will not be billed if a client cancels the appointment before 24 hours of the booked date.
Psychological assessments are often conducted with a specific referral request. For example, a parent or court may request the services of a psychologist to assess for a specific reason and to provide a report. This provides valuable information about the individual, indicating the specific areas where the client may need support and intervention. We conduct psycho- legal, neurocognitive and diagnostic assessments.
Group therapy is a kind of therapy in which more than two clients participate in the session. Clients are often assessed for their suitability to participate in the group. Group therapy may be ideal for many reasons, it is likely to promote a supportive environment for people with a common goal. We currently have two group therapy sessions running in our practice periodically. We facilitate the trauma therapy group and the substance use disorder group.
DebriefingSA is an initiative to promote mental health support services in the communities. We bring awareness about mental health service through talks at schools, community events, and via our Facebook page. We aim to train lay counselors in different rural communities in South Africa. We also provide pro-bono therapy sessions and psychological assessments to disadvantaged communities, mainly in the rural areas of South Africa. Anyone interested in being part of this initiative, contact us to find out how you can assist.
