Yanir Grindler | Clinical Psychologist – Sea Point

About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Sea Point, Cape Town. I offer both in-person and online therapy, including play therapy for children and individual and group psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. Finding the right therapist online can be overwhelming. To make this process easier, I have shared more about myself and my approach below. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

Qualifications & Professional Background

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). My academic background includes a BA and BA Honours in Philosophy and Psychology from Wits University, followed by an MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Johannesburg. For my dissertation, I explored Holocaust trauma through a psychoanalytic psychobiographical study of Elie Wiesel.

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups, helping them manage a variety of psychological challenges. My approach is primarily psychoanalytic, though I integrate other therapeutic techniques based on each client’s needs.

Services Offered

Individual Psychotherapy:
I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents. My focus is on addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs using a variety of therapeutic methods.

Play Therapy:
For children, I offer play therapy. This allows young clients to express emotions through non-verbal means. Play therapy is ideal for children who struggle to articulate their feelings and can help them process difficult experiences.

Couples and Family Therapy:
I offer therapy for couples and families dealing with communication problems, conflict, or other relational issues. The goal is to foster understanding, improve communication, and strengthen relationships.

Group Therapy:
I also offer group therapy for individuals who benefit from shared experiences. Group therapy provides a supportive space for clients to connect with others facing similar challenges and learn from each other.

Additional Information

I am registered with most major medical aid providers, including Discovery, Profmed, Medscheme, and Metropolitan Health Group. This makes my services accessible to a wide range of clients. My aim is to ensure therapy is affordable and accessible for everyone.

Whether you’re dealing with personal struggles, emotional distress, or family concerns, I can help. My goal is to work together to uncover the root causes of your challenges and develop strategies for meaningful change.
