Welcome!
Hi! I’m Kelly, Owner of Kelly McGivern Clinical Psychologist Private Practice. I’m an English speaking Clinical Psychologist in South Africa.
Since childhood, I've possessed an innate curiosity. I'm captivated by unraveling the complexities of human nature: our thoughts, perceptions, comprehension, and perspectives on the world, and how these shape our actions and choices.
At some point, every one of us will feel down, hurt, disappointed or anxious, which can interfere with our ability to think logically and act rationally. These emotions can negatively impact our work, relationships, and daily lives. It's often challenging to recognise when emotions are influencing our judgment and decisions. This is where a psychologist can be beneficial, offering a safe and objective space to explore your feelings and gain a clearer perspective on your life.
I am a psychologist who will encourage you to embrace both your strengths and weaknesses as valuable tools for self-discovery and personal growth. If you're ready to embark on a journey of growth and create a more fulfilling and meaningful life, let's begin!
I am particularly passionate about working with individuals, both adults and young adults. My experience and expertise primarily lie in addressing trauma, PTSD, cognitive distortions, risk assessments, relationship challenges, and psychopathology.
Please note: My services are exclusively provided through online sessions at this time.
