Clinical Psychologist: Cindy Strydom, Rivonia

As human beings we go through periods in our life where we feel overwhelmed by life and its problems. Feeling stuck in these times is natural and often being able to talk to someone who is objective can help us not only triumph over our problems but also use them to grow as a person and become the optimal you. I’ve heard that therapy is for people whom have problems.... Aren’t we all experiencing some or other difficulty or challenge? I prefer to believe that therapy is for those that would like to overcome their problems, rise above their challenges and grow despite their difficulties. As a clinical psychologist I work with a wide array of difficulties, ranging from everyday problems to the more severe. I approach each client as a unique case as I acknowledge that no two people are the same and therefore no “one size fits all” approach to therapy exists. I therefore adopt a wide array of therapeutic techniques to optimally benefit each client. Assessments can be done for various reasons, including, but not limited to the following: • Academic difficulties (concentration, ADHD, slow learner, school readiness etc) • Academic guidance (subject choices, career choices) • Forensic Assessment (any assessment for legal purposes) • Neuropsychological Assessments (to determine any problems stemming from brain conditions or injury) Therapy also covers many different problems the individual is experiencing. To list a few some such difficulties may be: • Grief / Bereavement • Depression • Anxiety • Problems that stemmed in childhood • Traumatic life experiences • Self-esteem and Self-worth • Couples counselling • Pre-marital counselling • Stress and burnout • Conflict management • Behavioural concerns • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Finally I also offer workshops, presentations, and team building events. A wide variety of workshops are available, this currently includes: Burnout and Stress Management; Rediscover Yourself and Couples Workshop
