My Therapeutic Approach at

Jeanette Steenkamp Counselling Psychologist Port Elizabeth

Every individual brings a unique experience, so I adjust my approach to fit their specific needs. I primarily incorporate a person-centred approach while seamlessly integrating cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy.

• Person-centred therapy fosters unconditional positive regard, empathetic listening, and deep understanding.
• Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) encourages the transformation of unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
• Solution-focused therapy promotes the exploration of practical solutions while ensuring autonomy in decision-making.
• Narrative therapy helps shape the future self based on values, goals, and dreams.

In some cases, applying a pure psychodynamic approach proves beneficial. This method involves deep self-reflection, making it effective in both short- and long-term therapy.

Individual Therapy with a Counselling Psychologist

As a Counselling Psychologist in Port Elizabeth, I guide both short-term and long-term therapy for adults. By using an integrative approach, I ensure a personalized and transformative therapeutic experience that emphasizes meaningful change and emotional well-being.

Couples Therapy in Port Elizabeth

I take a solution-focused approach to couples therapy, identifying key relationship issues and working proactively toward resolution. Therapy sessions address past experiences that may impact the present relationship. While couples generally attend sessions together, initial individual consultations remain an option.
