Ms Daphne Cooper

Educational Psychologist

“I have been in practice for many years and offer a warm, intelligent and relaxed space. I am especially interested in working with couples. Although I prefer having conversations face-to-face, I do also work online.”

About Me

I am an Educational Psychologist in Mowbray, Western Cape, South Africa. I help individuals and couples in reaching understanding and healing.

Approach

I create a relationship that is supportive, engaging and questioning in order to provide a conversation that is different from any other. I try to help you reach the desires of your heart so that you can stand in the world as the person you want to be. The relationship between us is vital and I am therefore very serious about safe-guarding this relationship. I will listen deeply to you. I want you to be comfortable but I will challenge you. I will show my respect through deep listening, and supporting you. This is in order to reach understanding and your desired outcomes.
