Dai Heyne

Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist

I have 25 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist both in South Africa and the United Kingdom working in a variety of settings with a variety of people including:

• People struggling with their mood – such as feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and fear.
• People going through a life-change or transition – such as the death of someone close, divorce/end of a relationship, career changes, relocating.
• People who have experienced a traumatic incident either recently or in the past. This includes people who were sexually, physically and/or emotionally abused.
• People and couples who are struggling or dissatisfied with the relationships in their lives.
• People who feel “stressed” and are struggling to cope with their lives in general. This also includes people who are generally dissatisfied with the way they are living their lives and would like to explore new ways of living their lives.

In the short term I aim to help you to cope and get your life back on track again. Should you decide to work with me over a longer time, we will work together to gain a deeper understanding of where your difficulties come from and how they play out in your life. Most importantly, we will aim to unlock the potential for you to live your life more fully that has been blocked by the difficulties you are experiencing.

My training as a Core Process Psychotherapist in the United Kingdom focussed on the use of Mindfulness and an understanding of how our nervous systems influence our thoughts, emotions and behaviour. As such, a cornerstone of my work is supporting clients to become aware of what is happening in their nervous systems and learning how to regulate their nervous systems.

I am both deeply committed to and enjoy my work with people. I am also inspired by the power of the healing relationships that form between myself and the people I work with. I also have over 10yrs experience working online with clients who are unable to see me in person.
