About Celéste Paterson

In my psychotherapy practice, I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe and supported as they explore the depths of their inner worlds. With a focus on young adults and adolescents, I specialise in guiding individuals through the complexities of relationships, behaviours, and personal growth.

Central to my approach is the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives. In a safe and non-judgmental space, I encourage individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, fostering insight and self-awareness along the way.

Utilising a psychodynamic framework, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of their challenges while integrating mindfulness techniques when appropriate. Whether it’s navigating anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties, my goal is to empower individuals on their journey towards healing and health.

I also have extensive experience working in inclusive school environments. This has provided me with comprehensive knowledge of assessing, accommodating, and supporting learners with learning difficulties. Assessments are administered in English and Afrikaans. I use a holistic approach and work closely with other professionals, parents, and schools.
