I am a registered psychologist based in Glenwood, Durban. I offer adult-focused individual psychotherapy that is client-centered and tailored to your needs. My services include counselling, psychological assessments, screening, and psycho-education. I have been practicing privately since 1993, with prior experience as a lecturer, student counsellor, police psychologist, trainer, and psychosocial resources consultant.

Client-Focused Therapy

As a Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) registered psychologist, I provide a safe, confidential space for clients to explore their concerns. I work collaboratively with each client to facilitate meaningful change using a mix of psychotherapeutic techniques. I treat a variety of clients from different cultures, spiritual backgrounds, lifestyles, and belief systems. Clients can self-refer or be referred by general practitioners, psychiatrists, social workers, employers, or pastors.

Therapy Approach and Techniques

My focus is to build and maintain a strong working relationship to support positive change. I use an integrative approach, combining techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Behavioural Activation. The techniques are chosen based on your preferences and best practice treatment guidelines for your specific concerns, such as anxiety or depression.

First Appointment

Your first appointment with Kevin Suter Counselling Psychologist Glenwood lasts 90 minutes. This session allows you to ask questions, discuss your concerns, and decide if my services meet your needs. We will explore the challenges you are facing and the changes you wish to achieve. If my services are not the best fit, I provide suggestions and referrals to suitable alternatives.

Ongoing Therapy Sessions

Weekly sessions are recommended initially for therapy to be effective. As you progress, sessions can be spaced fortnightly or monthly. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, online appointments are available. Follow-up sessions are usually 60 minutes, but I can also provide 90-minute or 120-minute consultations on request. This flexibility helps accommodate clients living far away or preferring longer but less frequent sessions.

Kevin Suter Counselling Psychologist Glenwood ensures a welcoming, professional, and confidential environment. I tailor therapy to each individual, helping clients achieve meaningful improvements in mental health and overall wellbeing. My approach balances structured techniques with compassionate support, empowering clients to manage challenges effectively and confidently.
