A space to become curious about your inner life.
Psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy with a registered clinical psychologist, for adults and couples.
Our emotional lives often have a history. Therapy can help make sense of patterns that have felt confusing or difficult to change.

Dr Charity Mkone
Clinical Psychologist · HPCSA registered
I am a Clinical Psychologist and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
Sometimes we know what is troubling us; sometimes we are caught in patterns without fully understanding why. These are some of the things I can help with.
- Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed
- Depression and low mood
- Grief and loss
- Self-esteem and identity
- Relationship difficulties
- Life transitions and major changes
- Recurring patterns that feel difficult to understand or change
- Questions about one's sense of self or direction
Curious
Difficult experiences are thought about with care, honesty and curiosity.
Collaborative
We work together to understand what is troubling you, and why.
Insight-oriented
Understanding not only what you experience, but what may lie beneath the surface.
Relational
The therapeutic relationship itself can become a place where patterns emerge and are understood.
How therapy works here
What to expect, from a first message to ongoing work.
You reach out
A WhatsApp message is the best way to start. You do not need to explain everything, or use the right words.
A short call
A 5–10 minute call to understand your immediate needs and whether my way of working suits what you are looking for.
A first appointment
If it feels like a good fit, we arrange a first appointment. All sessions are by appointment.
Ongoing work
Together we explore the thoughts, feelings, relationships and past experiences that may be shaping how you understand yourself.
