Etienne

Mr Etienne de Beer

Counseling Psychologist

“I have worked with a wide range of difficulties including but not limited to addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression & relationship problems.”

About Me

Life presents complex challenges, whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship difficulties. I offer a grounded space where we can gently explore these experiences together. We'll work collaboratively to understand underlying patterns and find ways to build resilience. My approach is suited for those ready to delve into their concerns and discover new paths forward.

Approach

Therapy with me moves at your pace, combining careful listening and focused reflection to gently uncover the habits—emotional, relational, behavioural—that maintain distress. I see adults, couples and groups face-to-face in Johannesburg, in English, and keep a predictable session structure so we set clear aims and check progress. Sessions blend conversation, practical strategies and occasional experiential exercises; between meetings you may try small, manageable steps that test new ways of relating and coping. This approach suits people seeking steady, practical change without rush.
