I’m Rob Whittaker, a Cape Town-based psychologist and family therapist.

 

 

 

 

 

In my psychotherapy and coaching practice, I work closely with my clients to address their challenges and help them achieve personal goals in a peaceful space in Rondebosch.

 

After clearly understanding your current situation, we work together to make lasting changes. I’ll show you how to apply what evidence-based psychological research has taught us about coping with stress, anxiety, depression, challenging relationships or marriages, existential issues, and paths to achieving personal goals.

 

You will understand what we now know about blending some remarkable discoveries of brain science into your life to make lasting changes. Together we will create a plan based on your unique situation and personal preferences.  I’ll be your therapist and coach, and will work hard to help you find relief and peace.

 

Once you feel satisfied that you are moving toward where you want to be emotionally, we can also consider a more structured step-by-step approach to train you to achieve specific work or personal goals.

 

I have worked successfully in private practice since 2015. My experience has taught me that many people develop issues that inhibit them, to a greater or lesser degree, from experiencing the fullness of life that they deserve.

 

I work with a wide range of people experiencing:

  • heightened anxiety
  • trauma and traumatic stress
  • emotion regulation difficulties
  • depression
  • Bipolar I and II
  • Autism spectrum difficulties
  • Relationship and family difficulties
  • A wide range of other life challenges (please contact me to discuss the particular feelings you are experiencing)
  • When we work together, we will use a most modern and highly researched approach to therapy.

My approach takes place in a comfortable and engaging setting where a strong therapeutic relationship based on safety, connection, and secure attachment is developed together.
