Meet the Director and Head Consultant

Dr Malema trained as a Clinical Psychologist and has occupied roles in General and Psychiatric hospitals, community clinics and Child and Youth Care Centres (CYCCs) during the early stages of her career. She later accepted academic roles at two South African Universities before transitioning to full-time private practice and consulting. She trained from a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) approach, and her work with patients and clients is thus informed by CBT principles, although she sometimes borrows from other modalities in psychology in order to fully meet the individual needs of her clients.
She is a highly skilled clinician and Psychotherapist with acquired experience from working in various clinical settings and a track record of teaching Psychopathology (the study of mental illness) and CBT interventions to undergraduate students and trainee Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, respectively.
