Sonja Wright – Clinical Psychologist – Die Wilgers

Dr Sonja Wright – Clinical Psychologist – Die Wilgers brings over fifteen years of specialised experience to Balance Therapy Centre. After earning her MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Pretoria in 2008, she completed advanced training in trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, and neuropsychological assessment. Moreover, she has provided counselling services in both hospital and private-practice settings, refining her ability to help clients navigate complex emotional challenges.

As a Clinical Psychologist, Dr Wright specialises in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and adjustment difficulties. Consequently, she employs evidence-based techniques—such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—to foster resilience and healing. Furthermore, she incorporates biofeedback tools to enhance clients’ awareness of physiological responses, which supports deeper self-regulation. Ultimately, her collaborative approach empowers individuals to regain control over their mental health and to build lasting coping strategies.

In addition, Dr Wright contributes to professional development by mentoring junior clinicians and leading peer-support workshops on burnout prevention and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Her goal remains to elevate psychological care standards across the region while delivering compassionate, tailored support to each client.
