Self-awareness is the ability to know and understand yourself and the effect you have on others. With increased self-awareness, you can identify your strengths and weaknesses, evaluate your emotions and reactions which enables you for better selfcare.

Improve Your Relationships – with Yourself, Others & God

Hello, I'm Chris

To engage, help and support people in a time of psychological turmoil is my life passion. To see a person overcome their brokenness, to grow and have quality of life was the reason why I become a psychologist and psychotherapist.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist (PS 0016284) based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa where I run my private practice besides virtual consultations.

My approach is mainly Psychodynamic orientated. It includes other therapeutic methods like Cognitive-Behavioural technique when it is indicated.

I see interpersonal and intra psychic difficulties linked to the history of a person and the influence of parental and other significant relationships. As well influenced by traumatic experiences during upbringing and later years.

My areas of expertise include:

Individual Psychotherapy
Diagnostic Assessments
Couples Therapy (including binational couples)
Forensic Assessments (court work)
Family Therapy
Psychotherapy Across Borders
Group Therapy
