Miss Shawni Botha

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

About Me

I am passionate about promoting mental health and helping you grow. I assist with emotional difficulties, from daily stressors to significant loss, trauma, or psychological disorders. We will work together, tailoring our approach to your unique needs. My integrated perspective means sessions adapt to you. This offers a supportive space to explore challenges and foster lasting personal growth. Clients seeking a truly individualised path find my collaborative style deeply understanding.

Approach

I hold sessions that are practical and curious, blending gentle challenge with steady support as we map what matters most and set small, manageable goals. In Sandton or online, in English, I balance focused check-ins with space for exploration so children, adolescents, parents and adults can move at a safe, steady pace. Between sessions we try short experiments and concrete coping plans, and I invite reflection that links feelings to everyday choices. Those wanting thoughtful, individualised change usually find this approach helpful.
