Lara Juric Counselling Psychologist Melkbosstrand offers caring and skilled support for children, teens, and adults in a calm and safe space.
Lara graduated from the University of Cape Town (U.C.T.) with a B.Soc.Sci in 1996. She then completed her Honours degree with Cum Laude and her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Stellenbosch University in 1998. After that, she spent a year living and working in the United Kingdom. She later returned to South Africa and settled in the Tableview and Blouberg area in Cape Town. Today, she works at Crescent Clinic in Claremont/Kenilworth and at Atlantic Beach Golf Estate in Melkbosstrand.
Since 1999, Lara has worked in private practice. Over the years, she has helped many clients across different age groups. She focuses on clear communication and builds strong, trusting relationships. As a result, clients often feel safe and understood. In addition, she uses simple and practical methods that suit each person’s needs. This approach helps clients make steady progress.
Lara provides emotional and intellectual assessments for children and adolescents. She also offers play therapy, which helps younger clients express feelings in a natural way. Furthermore, she conducts school readiness assessments to guide parents and support children before they start school. Because each child is different, she adapts her methods to match their needs and stage of growth.
Lara also supports adults through life changes, stress, and personal growth. She helps clients manage adjustments, whether they face change, loss, or trauma. In addition, she offers parent guidance to help families build stronger connections. This support gives parents tools to handle challenges with more confidence. As a result, families often see better communication and balance at home.
Her key areas of focus include anxiety and depression in children, adolescents, and adults. She also works on self-growth and development for adults who want to improve their well-being. Moreover, she helps clients deal with life changes in a steady and practical way. Through this work, she aims to build resilience and long-term emotional strength. Each session focuses on real steps that clients can use in daily life.
