Ms Carly Abramovitz

Clinical Psychologist

“Carly's Couch offers online individual psychotherapy to adults, including parent education and therapy for self growth.”

About Me

At Carly's Couch, I provide a safe, private online space for adults seeking personal development. I help you explore challenges, fostering self-awareness and resilience. For parents, I offer practical education sessions to navigate family dynamics effectively. This online approach suits clients prioritising convenience and a focus on lasting self-growth from home.

Approach

I shape online sessions into short, focused rhythms that balance reflective exploration with practical steps. From Cape Town, English sessions move between gentle psychodynamic inquiry and hands-on parenting strategies, and I adjust the pace to what you bring. We notice patterns, try small experiments between meetings, and return to what shifts so insight becomes usable. Adults navigating parenting, relocation and mood challenges often find this steady, collaborative way helpful.
