Mrs Nasreen Sardiwalla Ebrahim

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced clinical psychologist with experience in the public and private sector offering sound diagnoses and therapy of mental health.”

About Me

I draw on extensive experience in public and private sectors helping individuals navigate their mental health. My approach offers clear, insightful understanding, establishing a solid foundation for effective therapy. We work collaboratively to explore challenges and develop practical strategies for well-being. Clients seeking a grounded, experienced psychologist providing thoughtful support will find a safe, collaborative space. Sessions focus on building lasting understanding and resilience.

Approach

Clinical practice in both public and private settings informs how I structure therapy, keeping it focused, practical and respectful of each person’s pace. In Durban I see clients in English, creating a clear, safe environment where assessment, psychoeducation and collaborative problem-solving guide each session and shape short, manageable goals between meetings. I use gentle challenge and measurable steps to track progress, attending to family and developmental contexts when relevant. People seeking thoughtful, steady support tend to find this approach useful.
