Mx Chant Malan

Psychologist

“Chant Malan (she/they) is a clinical sexologist, counselling psychologist, researcher, and executive member of the Southern African Sexual Health Association (SASHA).”

About Me

I help individuals and couples navigate sensitive concerns about sexual health and relationships. As a clinical sexologist and Counseling psychologist, I provide a supportive, informed space. We explore intimacy, identity, and well-being, helping clients find clarity and a path forward. My approach is grounded in current research and best practices. This collaborative style helps you find comfort and confidence.

Approach

With a background in sexual health research and counselling, my work moves from questions into practical, paced experiments that respect your pace and identity. In Johannesburg or online, English sessions balance focused reflection with concrete skills—short between-session practices, gentle tracking of progress, and check-ins that keep therapy relevant to daily life. I blend exploratory talking with clear steps so insights lead to changes you can try between meetings. This way of working suits people wanting thoughtful, steady shifts in relationships, identity or sexual wellbeing.
