Lisa Wolfaardt | Clinical Psychologist | Plumstead

About Me

I am passionate about helping my clients become the best versions of themselves and grow into the people they aspire to be. The journey to better oneself can be challenging, but it is also deeply rewarding. I believe that anyone who seeks therapy is incredibly brave and, in making that choice, will ultimately benefit from it.

Life often presents us with overwhelming challenges, especially when it comes to personal relationships or the emotional toll of past trauma. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that prevent you from connecting with others or living life fully. If you are feeling this way, I am here to help guide you through these difficulties and assist you in finding peace, meaning, and a deeper connection with both yourself and others.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward positive change, feel free to contact me today to discuss your needs and book an appointment.

My Services

I offer a range of services to support individuals, families, and groups facing a variety of psychological challenges. My practice is based on a holistic and integrative approach, which draws from various therapeutic modalities tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Individual Therapy

I provide individual therapy sessions for adults, adolescents, and children, conducted in both English and Afrikaans. In these 50-minute sessions, we will work together in a safe and supportive environment. I provide individual assessments and evidence-based therapies designed to address various challenges such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma
• Relationship issues
• Eating disorders
• Personal growth

My approach is rooted in empowering clients to harness their own inner strengths and develop healthier coping strategies for life’s difficulties. Whether you are dealing with personal struggles or navigating a difficult phase, I aim to help you find your way towards healing and wholeness.

Psycho-legal Work

I have a keen interest in psycho-legal work and offer psycho-legal assessment reports intended for court use. Legal professionals may request these reports on behalf of individuals, families, or third parties. I have previously worked in forensic settings such as Valkenberg forensic ward and Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison, providing valuable assessments for legal purposes.

If you require a Clinical Psychologist to provide psycho-legal assessments, feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs.

Client Testimonials

Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many of my clients experience significant positive changes. Here are just a few of their stories:

• “I feel like you changed my life this year. I was very guarded. You’ve been teaching me to be braver to talk. I’ve learned a lot about myself. Even my colleagues notice a difference in me. My journey has changed my life.” – AE
• “Since I came to see you I have been able to implement the techniques you taught me. I’m a lot calmer within myself and I feel better. This is happening to me more and more each day.” – CE
• “I’ve been feeling so free lately, especially regarding my anxiety with other people. Previously emotional reactions left me feeling totally overwhelmed, now I’m able to cope and figure things out.” – NE
• “Speaking to you has given me a lot of perspective and clarity. I needed a sanity check and felt very validated.” – RA
• “After our session it felt like the load was off. Other people are seeing the change in me. I’m more secure of myself and confident and less dependent on people’s validation. I can see my own value.” – UW
