Counselling Psychologist Medical clinic East London

Lynette Rajagopal Psychological Services – Counselling Psychologist in East London

About the Practice

Lynette Rajagopal Psychological Services offers professional counselling and psychological support to individuals, couples, and families facing a range of emotional and mental health challenges. As a registered counselling psychologist, I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, and compassionate environment where clients can explore their concerns and work towards healing and growth.

My main practice is based in Beacon Bay North, conveniently located within walking distance of Beacon Bay Life Hospital. In addition to private consultations, I facilitate admissions to St Marks Clinic and operate a subsidiary practice in Qonce at Grey Monument Private Clinic. I also conduct in-hospital visits at Beacon Bay Life Hospital to provide psychological care to patients in need.

I work with individuals from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. While English is the primary language used in sessions, I have a reasonable understanding of Afrikaans and can arrange interpretation services for Xhosa-speaking clients when necessary.

Clients from East London, Qonce, Stutterheim, Fort Beaufort, Alice, Bisho, Butterworth, and Mthatha are welcome to seek services at my practice.
