I find that psychotherapy can be very useful as it allows for one to be curious about oneself and allows for greater self-awareness. ## Short summary: Internship – Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital (2014) Community Service – Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital (2015) Consultant Clinical Psychologist – Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital (2016 – 2020) Full-time Private Practice (2020 – present) ## Qualifications: - MA: Clinical Psychology (University of Pretoria) – 2015 - BA: Criminology (University of Pretoria) – 2011 - BSocSci.

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. !(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKleUHjAmVlU-oqFxLxDmm23eahVkYpvF_P3tYlw_033Jv2ww=s120-c-rp-mo-ba3-br100) Khanyisile Mukhari 2025-03-14 I Highly recommend everything about this facility. !(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVhRu-tOSrkV-B5zJubd6RqpvzzWfGSwc4ZvwmkKAGNO1mdUQPWRA=s120-c-rp-mo-ba4-br100) Maarten Opperman 2025-03-09 Very 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.
