Teresa Kuret – Counselling Psychologist – Claremont

Dr Teresa Kuret, Counselling Psychologist in Claremont, practices exclusively at Mediclinic Crescent Mental Health Services. She earned her MA in Counselling Psychology from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2005. Following graduation, she completed clinical placements at provincial hospitals and private clinics. Consequently, she launched her private practice at Crescent in 2006. Since then, she has guided clients through life transitions, grief, and trauma.

Moreover, Dr Kuret refined her expertise in cognitive-behavioural, person-centred, and systemic family therapy techniques. Additionally, she introduced digital outcome-measure tools, such as GAD-7 and BDI assessments, to track client progress. Furthermore, she founded the clinic’s Bereavement Support Group in 2008. Consequently, she now leads weekly grief workshops. Meanwhile, she mentors trainee psychologists and supervises counselling interns.

Her approach embraces a bio-psycho-social framework. She integrates evidence-based talk therapies with creative techniques, including art and narrative therapy. In addition, she collaborates daily with psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and social workers. Therefore, she ensures treatments address each client’s unique circumstances. She practices in both English and Afrikaans to serve a diverse adult population.

Furthermore, Dr Kuret contributes to centre-wide quality improvement initiatives. She co-develops trauma-informed care modules and resilience-building programmes. Meanwhile, she presents case studies at professional workshops. Ultimately, her work empowers adults to build resilience, achieve personal growth, and sustain lasting well-being.
