Jonathan Gilberg Clinical Psychologist, Cape Town

ABOUT ME

Psychology has always been a passion of mine, as I love interacting with and connecting with different types of people in a deep and authentic manner.

The most rewarding aspect of my chosen field is the satisfaction that comes with witnessing first-hand the growth and healing of my clients, as they integrate various facets of self to find a new and sustainable sense of meaning, purpose and wholeness.

Over the past ten years of my career I have had many educational, inspiring, and meaningful experiences working with various individuals and groups, within various clinical settings. These include psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric community clinics, substance abuse rehabilitation centres, psycho-social rehabilitation centres, educational contexts and private practise.

FOCUS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY

My psychotherapeutic stance veers away from confining psychiatric labels and rather focuses on healing the underlying cause of the distress.¿

I consider each client to be unique, thus the psychotherapeutic process is not a space of judgement and proscription. Rather it is a process of facilitating, supporting and empowering clients to take their own unique journey towards healing and wholeness. I act as a guide to my clients, however I follow their personal tempo and pace, with deep respect for their feelings and experiences throughout their process. My psychotherapeutic method is free of culturally specific content and is thus suitable across diverse groups of people with different belief systems and personal preferences.
