About Sarita
I am a registered clinical psychologist with a passion for working with people.
I aim to, in my work, assist others in self-exploration and self-discovery so that they can reach a place of greater self-knowledge and self-acceptance. I have a great respect for the diversity and uniqueness of each person who I cross paths with and tailor the service I provide to meet the unique needs of each individual. I value my ethical responsibilities and morals and always aim to provide professional, warm and caring interactions. I believe that the relationship between myself and the client is of utmost importance. This relationship between therapist and client is a very unique one that allows for therapeutic work to be done.
I believe that the psyche is a complicated combination of thoughts, emotions, experiences and internalised relationships and that it must be treated with care and respects. It is for this reason that I always aim to allow the client to set the pace of the therapeutic process so that his/her internal experiences and processes are explored in a safe manner. Setting a containing and comfortable space is also of importance to me and I take great care to think, feel and behave empathically.
