About Mark Steyn

Welcome to my psychology practice in Sea Point. As a qualified clinical psychologist, I aim to support individuals in overcoming emotional and psychological challenges. I offer a safe and understanding space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, ultimately fostering meaningful change.

In my practice, I employ an integrative approach, which helps clients develop a deeper self-awareness and address life’s difficulties. Moreover, I continuously update my knowledge and techniques to provide the most effective and up-to-date therapy methods.

Services Offered

I offer a range of psychological services tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients. These services are divided into two main categories: assessment and psychotherapy.

Assessment Services

Psychological assessments play a vital role in understanding a client’s mental health. They help identify specific challenges and provide clarity for accurate diagnosis. I offer three key types of assessments:

• Clinical Assessments: These assessments focus on understanding a client’s overall psychological health and any life adjustment difficulties.
• Psychodiagnostic Assessments: These are designed to determine if a client is experiencing any particular psychological disorders.
• Psychometric Assessments: These assess various mental functions such as cognitive abilities, personality traits, and emotional intelligence.

When clients contract psychotherapy or psycholegal services, they automatically undergo an initial psychological and mental health assessment. This is crucial for identifying any underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Psychotherapy Services

I provide both brief and long-term psychotherapy for individuals (from 16 years of age) in either individual or group settings. My therapy approach is grounded in psychodynamic principles, which emphasise a strong and collaborative relationship between therapist and client. This relationship facilitates in-depth exploration and transformation.

I specialise in the following areas:

• Trauma and Loss: I work with clients to process grief and trauma, helping them heal from past experiences.
• Anxiety and Stress: I assist individuals in managing anxiety disorders, stress, and panic attacks.
• Mood Disorders: I support those experiencing depression, anger issues, and bipolar disorder.
• Parental Mental Health: I offer guidance to parents facing mental health challenges while managing family dynamics.
• Relationship Issues: I help individuals and couples address and resolve difficulties in their relationships.
• Life Transitions: I provide support for clients navigating significant life changes such as career shifts, parenthood, or existential questions.

My goal is to work collaboratively with clients to develop personalised strategies that promote healing and growth.
