Adiela Ismail Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist Claremont

Belinda Train: Clinical Psychologist Muizenberg, South Africa

About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I completed my M. Psych (Clinical) at the University of the Western Cape and have been practising as a psychologist since 2002. Over the years, I have worked in various sectors, including non-profit organisations and educational publishing. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, enriching the work I do with my clients.

I became a mother in 2008, later in life than I had expected. Before that, I focused on building my career, working through personal challenges, and exploring spirituality. These experiences have informed my understanding of personal growth and transformation.

Services

I provide a range of services to individuals, couples, and families. I create a safe and non-judgemental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through this process, I aim to help clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and make meaningful changes.

Individual Therapy
I work with adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and concerns.

Couples Therapy
Couples therapy helps partners work through issues, improve communication, and strengthen their relationship. Whether dealing with trust issues or conflict, therapy provides tools to improve connection and intimacy.

Adolescent and Family Therapy
I offer therapy for children and teens, involving both the young person and their parents in the therapeutic process. Family therapy helps improve dynamics, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationships.

Trauma and Life Transitions
I support individuals through difficult life transitions, such as career changes or grief. Therapy also helps with the impact of past trauma, offering a safe space for healing and recovery.

Additional Information

In addition to my clinical work, I am a published author in psychology and industrial psychology. I contributed to several textbooks, including Fresh Perspectives: Industrial Psychology (2009) and X-Kit Undergraduate: Industrial Psychology (2006). My academic and writing experiences have deepened my understanding of psychology, allowing me to bring a comprehensive approach to my therapy practice.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients. My combination of professional experience, personal insight, and a collaborative approach creates an effective therapeutic environment.
