Marianda Eras Clinical Psychologist Cape Town

Marianda Eras Clinical Psychologist Cape Town provides professional psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents. I am deeply passionate about psychology and actively help individuals navigate personal challenges so they can live more fulfilling lives. My practice offers both face-to-face and online therapy sessions, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all clients. Furthermore, I strive to create a supportive and understanding environment for every individual.

Qualifications and Professional Registration

I earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Stellenbosch. Not only am I proudly registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and The Board of Healthcare Funders, but I also gained registration as a Mental Healthcare Psychologist in the Netherlands after undergoing supervision in the Dutch Mental Healthcare system. This diverse background enables me to bring a well-rounded perspective to therapy.

Experience in Private Practice

Since 1996, I have dedicated myself to independent private practice. Over the years, I have gained extensive expertise in adult and adolescent psychotherapy. Additionally, I frequently consult for various clinics, further broadening my experience. I have worked extensively in Addiction Treatment, Dual Diagnosis, and Eating Disorder Units. With each client, I focus on providing tailored support to help them through complex emotional and psychological challenges.

Leadership in Mental Healthcare at Marianda Eras Clinical Psychologist Cape Town

For nine years, I directed an inpatient dual diagnosis and addiction treatment facility. During this time, I led the treatment team, designed programs, and actively supported patients facing mental health and addiction struggles. By taking an active leadership role, I ensured that clients consistently received comprehensive and personalized care. Moreover, my hands-on experience in this role deepened my understanding of effective treatment strategies.

Therapeutic Approach and Services

My approach integrates multiple therapeutic modalities, ensuring that each client receives care specifically suited to their needs. I apply Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Because each client’s situation is unique, therapy sessions can be either short-term or long-term. With a flexible and adaptive method, I strive to create an empowering therapeutic experience that fosters lasting growth and healing.

Initial Psychotherapy Consultation

Every psychotherapy journey starts with an initial assessment. During this session, clients clearly define their goals and identify what changes they seek. From there, we work together to create a personalized therapeutic plan. This structured approach ensures that therapy remains focused, goal-oriented, and effective. Additionally, having a clear plan helps clients track their progress over time, making their journey more rewarding.

Supervision for Psychologists and Counsellors

I actively support psychologists and counsellors by offering supervision. Through these sessions, I help professionals refine their clinical skills, enhance their therapeutic approach, and build confidence in their practice. Since ongoing learning is crucial in psychology, supervision fosters continuous growth and ensures the highest quality of care for clients. Additionally, I encourage open dialogue to create a productive and collaborative supervision process.

Professional Fees and Payment

My practice operates on a cash basis, keeping fees broadly aligned with medical scheme tariffs. Clients can directly submit paid invoices to their medical scheme for potential reimbursement. To avoid surprises, I always recommend confirming available psychological service benefits with your provider beforehand. This proactive step ensures that clients have clarity regarding their financial commitments before beginning therapy.

If you need an experienced and compassionate psychologist, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we can actively work towards meaningful change and lasting personal growth. By taking this first step, you open the door to a healthier and more balanced life.
