Dr Bing’s areas of expertise:
EMDR
Also known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, EMDR is a psychotherapy technique proven to reduce psychological stress. Dr Bing has used EMDR extensively since 1998 and makes use of this approach in her treatment for trauma as it has been researched and found to be effective in helping individuals overcome symptoms related to trauma.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
This approach is based upon the finding that individuals battling with Depression, Anxiety Disorders, and Trauma experience negative thought patterns that occur on a loop, serving to worsen their condition. By teaching them to think differently, Dr. Bing aims to assist individuals in regaining control over their thoughts. This may include developing a new way to relate to negative beliefs and changing deep-seated beliefs that cause negative patterns in thinking.
Behavioural Activation
Particularly beneficial for those battling mood disorders like Depression, Behavioral Activation is an approach that focuses on symptoms of withdrawal, disconnectedness, and disengagement, seeking to decrease an individual’s isolation and avoidance. In this way, they will gradually increase their engagement in behaviours that lead to an improvement in their mood.

Bonginkosi Nxumalo2025-03-28This is the best mental health clinic in the country. The facilities are out of this world, the food that we had while admitted was the best. The health professionals were the best. If you need to reset, if you feel as though things are heavy on you ask your medical Practitioner to do a referral for you. When it's time for you to be discharged you won't want to go home. The person who built this facility deserves all the blessings.
Khanyisile Mukhari2025-03-14I Highly recommend everything about this facility.
Maarten Opperman2025-03-09Very friendly, approachable staff. CEO visits each and every table herself during lunch for feedback. They cater for individualised and special meals. The clinic has its own private vehicles to transport patients to Pretoria East Hospital, Wilgers Hospital for specialist referrals and radiological investigations. The clinic has a gymnasium and a big physiotherapy section. One-to-one private sessions with an occupational therapist, social worker, or pastoral therapist are available. Each patient consults a private psychiatrist and a private psychologist every day. No photos may be taken for medical confidentiality.
