Bellville, Northern Suburbs, Cape Town
Social Worker
I am is a social worker in private practice that work with toddlers from the age of 3 years old and older and use a play therapy process to create a non-threatening, safe and comfortable environment to help children express their feelings and thoughts and deal with difficult painful emotional issues. Play is a child’s language and toys are their words. Through the use of different types of play and creative therapeutic methods and the development of a safe therapeutic relationship, children are helped to deal with painful emotional issues. During the play therapy process children’s sense of self enhance, they are assisted to integrate thoughts, emotions and behaviour, change negative behaviours, enhance adaptive functioning and achieve optimal growth and development.

Brenda Cowley
Constantia, Cape Town
Educational Psychologist / Infant Mental Health Specialist
I work with parents and their infants/toddlers between the ages of 0-3. My work focuses on attachment parenting and ranges from general parenting advice to dealing with more complicated issues such as feeding difficulties, anxiety or excessive crying. I enjoy assisting parents with adopted babies/toddlers and also see mothers (and fathers) who are suffering from postnatal anxiety and depression. In addition, I work with adults in individual psychotherapy.
Raine Cohen
Sandton, Johannesburg
Psychologist
I work with adults and children. I believe that our early years shape our experiences. These experiences influence what we expect from and, how we respond to those close to us. This isn’t always helpful or useful. In therapy I work with clients to become more self-aware and learn what motivates them so that they have more choice in interaction with others.
