Dr Sebolelo Letshego Seape – Psychiatrist – Parktown

Dr Sebolelo Letshego Seape is a Specialist Psychiatrist at Netcare Akeso Parktown with nearly three decades of experience in adult, adolescent, and forensic psychiatry. She earned her MBChB from the University of the Witwatersrand and completed her internship at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. Subsequently, she served her community service at Tara Hospital before specialising as a registrar at Wits University. As a result, she developed deep expertise in acute inpatient care, outpatient management, and forensic psychiatric assessments.

After passing her MMed examinations, Dr Seape led community psychiatry clinics across Carletonville, Khutsong, and Reiger Park. Moreover, she became principal psychiatrist at Sterkfontein Hospital in 2003, where she supervised multidisciplinary teams and refined treatment protocols. In 2006, she entered private practice and helped establish Tshepo Themba Private Clinic, expanding bed capacity to serve underserved populations. Today, she applies that broad background exclusively at Akeso Parktown, where she mentors junior psychiatrists and champions stigma-reduction initiatives.

Dr Seape also contributes to professional development through leadership roles. Specifically, she chairs the Psychiatry Management Group and serves as President of the South African Society of Psychiatrists. Furthermore, she regularly presents at national conferences on topics such as telepsychiatry efficacy, suicide prevention, and early psychosis intervention. Consequently, her practice blends cutting-edge research with compassionate, patient-centred care.
