Dr Koos du Toit

Clinical Psychologist

Synopsis

I have practiced as Clinical Psychologist in various contexts for more than 20 years. I treat adults, couples, and teenagers, and assist with difficulties related to the whole spectrum of psychological problems. I specialise in brief cost effective psychotherapy. Working in the systemic model, I follow an integrated interpersonal, interactional and strategic approach. Most of my patients require less than 10 sessions for complete resolution of the presenting problems.
