Kirsten Barnardt Clinical Psychologist Cape Town

Kirsten Barnardt Clinical Psychologist Cape Town provides professional therapy for adults and young adults in the Cape Town area. Our focus includes online therapy sessions and EMDR therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, and personal development. We aim to help clients feel supported and develop practical strategies to improve their mental health.

Support for Adults

Adults can benefit from therapy for life transitions, depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or loss and bereavement. Our sessions help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical ways to cope. We guide individuals through challenges while promoting emotional resilience and personal growth.

Support for 20 Somethings

Young adults face unique challenges related to studies, career beginnings, and relationships. Therapy helps them navigate life changes, manage stress, and build strong coping skills. Sessions focus on understanding emotional patterns and creating healthy habits for long-term wellbeing.

Therapy Approaches Short and Long Term

We offer a variety of therapy approaches tailored to your needs. Short and longer-term therapy options ensure flexibility and effectiveness in achieving your goals.

Metacognitive Therapy

Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) focuses on reducing worry and rumination. It helps clients shift attention from distressing thoughts to more constructive patterns. MCT addresses unhelpful beliefs and coping strategies, improving mood and mental wellbeing. This approach treats anxiety, depression, social anxiety, OCD, and health anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) equips clients with skills to manage current difficulties. CBT identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with healthier habits. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is also used to support emotional regulation and reduce stress.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences affect current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. By understanding these patterns, clients develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. This approach encourages self-reflection and emotional insight to break cycles of distress.

Trauma Focused Therapy

Kirsten Barnardt and Karen Fleming are EMDR practitioners. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is effective for trauma and PTSD. It helps clients process distressing memories safely and develop healthier coping mechanisms. EMDR is recognized by international health organizations for its effectiveness.
