Michelle Smit

I am a registered counselling psychologist with a Master's degree from Pearson Institute. I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF).

My special interest lies in addiction care. I have worked within multidisciplinary teams at in-patient facilities caring for patients with substance abuse issues. This experience has given me deep insight into the complexities of addiction and recovery.

Specialisation

I treat patients with dual diagnoses, addressing comorbid conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders alongside substance abuse issues. This integrated approach ensures that all aspects of a person's mental health are considered in their treatment plan.

My Approach

I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. My therapeutic approach is evidence-based, drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other proven modalities tailored to each client's unique needs.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or substance abuse, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
