Ms Cleophas Kolbe

I am a Clinical Psychologist located in the heart of Bellville in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. I have approximately 20 years of practice experience, both on a governmental level and also in private practice. I practice psychodynamically, specialising in an array of services from individual and couples' therapy to child and adolescent psychotherapy and family work. I am passionate about creating long-lasting, positive change and am able to provide an holistic approach to intervention by incorporating the various dimensions of well-being, including spirituality. Although not limited to the aforementioned, I offer Dialetical (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am specialised in taking a psychodynamic stance, helping people to understand that past childhood transferences and issues does not have to impact on your present relationships as the emotional wounds of the past can be healed. I also specialise in Dual Diagnosis for substance abuse, hold my expertise in AXIS I and Personality disorders. I offer therapy on a short-term and long-term basis for individuals, couples, groups and families from every walk of life and do in-hospital consultations. I also offer systemic family work, addiction counselling and trauma counselling, as well as work place interventions, assessments and forensic work.
