Ms Nicky Abdinor

Clinical Psychologist

“My practice is currently online only. I see adults for individual therapy and focus on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy.”

About Me

I guide adults seeking to understand and shift long-standing patterns. As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer individual online therapy, integrating Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy. This combination provides both practical tools and deeper insight into emotional challenges. Clients gain strategies to build lasting, positive change from the comfort of their home.

Approach

I run sessions via secure video from Cape Town in English, keeping a steady, collaborative pace that links practical tools with exploration of recurring life patterns. In-session we map specific triggers, try short behavioural experiments and use focused assessments to sharpen targets; between sessions I offer simple, measurable tasks to practice skills and notice shifts. My style is direct but supportive, aiming for clear steps rather than vague insight alone. This way suits adults facing transitions, burnout, anxiety or low mood who want structured, reflective change.
