Mrs Nicole Whiteman

Counseling Psychologist

“Founder and Director of Home of Psychology, a private practice located in Johannesburg dedicated to providing quality psychological services. I am an experienced, qualified and competent therapist working with children, teens and adults, helping them reach their full potential.”

About Me

As a Counseling psychologist, I work with children, teens, and adults, helping you cultivate your unique strengths. I offer a supportive space to openly explore life's challenges and navigate transitions together. My approach focuses on practical strategies, ensuring you gain tools for resilience. This makes me a good match for individuals and families seeking consistent, skilled support across all life stages.

Approach

At Home of Psychology I focus on clear, step-by-step work that helps you notice patterns and try small changes between sessions. In Randburg or online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions move at a steady, practical pace: we explore worries or loss, test thoughts and behaviours, and use age‑appropriate activities for children and teens. I often set simple experiments or reflections to practise in daily life, then we review what helped. This approach suits people and families looking for concrete progress and lasting skills.
