Kyli Benadie-Chowles Clinical Psychologist Lynnwood Glen

Kyli Benadie-Chowles | Clinical Psychologist in Lynnwood Glen

About Me

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist based in Lynnwood Glen, offering a diverse range of psychotherapeutic techniques and assessments. My approach focuses on empowering individuals to create and re-create their lives, placing emphasis on growth, resilience, and overall wellbeing. With training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Hypnosis, and Somatic Therapy, I aim to meet you exactly where you are in your life and help you move forward.

Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them navigate various life challenges. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other emotional or psychological struggles, my goal is to help you live your best life despite any pain or diagnosis you may face.

My experience also extends to psychological assessments, with expertise in neuropsychological, psycho-legal (forensic), and diagnostic settings. These assessments focus on identifying conditions, problems, and behaviours rather than offering treatment, which can aid in the diagnosis and understanding of mental health concerns.

I am fluent in Afrikaans and English, and currently learning Setswana to further enrich my ability to assist clients from various backgrounds and contexts.

Services I Offer

Psychotherapy

I provide individual therapy using a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s unique needs. Services include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helping you to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that impact your life.

• Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Exploring past experiences and unconscious patterns that influence current emotional and psychological states.

• Narrative Therapy: Helping you to reframe and rewrite the stories of your life, fostering a sense of empowerment.

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs): Using mindfulness practices to reduce stress, enhance self-awareness, and improve emotional regulation.

• Hypnosis & Somatic Therapy: Assisting with deep relaxation, trauma resolution, and the healing of emotional and physical pain through mind-body techniques.

Psychological Assessments

I offer comprehensive assessments to identify psychological conditions and behavioural concerns, which can be crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning. I provide:

• Neuropsychological Assessments: Evaluating cognitive functioning, memory, attention, and other brain-related processes.

• Psycho-Legal (Forensic) Assessments: Conducting psychological assessments related to legal matters, such as court reports and evaluations.

• Diagnostic Assessments: Providing clarity and diagnostic insight into mental health conditions.

My Experience and Background

My background includes a wide range of experience, having worked in various psychiatric and medical settings with both inpatients and outpatients. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse cultures and contexts, which helps me continually broaden my perspectives and improve the quality of the work I do.

In addition to my clinical experience, I am passionate about contributing to the field of psychology through research and publications. I stay up-to-date with the latest developments in psychology by engaging in continuing education and specialised courses, such as:

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) – Stellenbosch University

• Forensic Psychology Training – SIOPSA Mock Trial

• Modern Hypnosis Certification – South African Modern Hypnosis Academy

• Advanced Dyslexia Workshop – GoFocus

I believe that the process of healing and transformation involves not just working with the mind but also aligning the body and emotions. My approach is holistic, and I aim to help clients not only resolve challenges but thrive in all aspects of their lives.
