Mrs Rosemary Martin

Registered Psychologist

Verified

“I have 35 years experience working with adults and couples. I focus on listening, curiosity, links and making meaning to assist greater self and other awareness. I work Psychoanalytically with the present, past, conscious and unconscious. Personal growth, symptom relief and enriched relationships are likely outcomes.”

About Me

I help adults and couples explore their inner world, fostering greater self and other awareness. Through careful listening and curiosity, we make meaning of how past and unconscious patterns influence your present. This process can bring symptom relief, personal growth, and enriched relationships. My approach is ideal for those ready to explore their past and present for profound, lasting change.

Approach

I guide sessions as a close exploration of patterns, linking present moments, memories and bodily signals so you can see what's steering choices. In Cape Town and online in English the room is steady and paced to your rhythm, with space for reflection between meetings. I invite gentle noticing, free association and small experiments that surface unconscious strains and rework how you relate to self and others. People seeking deeper understanding of anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties often find this pace useful.
