Mrs Harsha Maharaj (nee Kalanjee)

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced and passionate clinical psychologist practicing for 23 years, with experience in dealing with adults and adolescents. Special interests in oncology and bariatrics.”

About Me

I offer a grounded and compassionate space to explore life's challenges. With 18 years as a clinical psychologist, I bring extensive experience. My passion lies in helping you navigate complex emotions and find clarity. Together, we can understand your unique story and develop practical ways forward. Sessions are designed to build resilience, foster lasting change, and feel both supportive and insightful.

Approach

With 23 years working with adults and adolescents, I guide therapy as a steady, practical exploration that honours your pace and priorities. Sessions in Randburg or online, in English or Afrikaans, are focused and lightly structured, with regular check-ins and agreed steps between meetings. I use assessment to clarify patterns, mindfulness to steady difficult moments, and collaborative problem-solving to address relationship, mood and behavioural concerns. This way of working suits those seeking realistic, measured change with compassionate accountability.
