Finding a moment for reflection and healing is crucial in the bustling pace of everyday life. At Dr Sanja Kilian’s practice in Sea Point, we provide a supportive and confidential environment where adults can explore their thoughts and emotions. Whether you are dealing with stress, life transitions, mental health issues, or simply seeking personal growth, tailored psychotherapy sessions are designed to meet you where you are in your journey. Dr Kilian offers these sessions in both English and Afrikaans, accommodating a broader range of clients.
What does psychotherapy involve?
Psychotherapy involves a cooperative approach that centres on the relationship between a client and a psychologist. Your therapy session involves structured sessions where therapeutic techniques are employed to explore your feelings, beliefs, and behaviours. We work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of your life that you want to change, better understand yourself and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
How are sessions conducted?
- Individual sessions with adults can take place either in person at the Sea Point rooms or online, accommodating your schedule and comfort preferences.
- We tailor our therapeutic approaches to each client’s unique needs and goals.
- We integrate various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy, to offer a personalised treatment plan that best supports your mental health and personal development.
Who can benefit from psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy benefits anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and improving their quality of life. It can help address various psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved difficulties, grief, stress management, body image issues, and general life transitions.
What specific therapies are offered?
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This method is very effective for those experiencing anxiety or depression, focusing on changing specific negative thought patterns and behaviours.
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Ideal for individuals who experience emotional instability, DBT helps in learning new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach aims to increase your awareness and understanding of the unconscious mind and past experiences that shape current behaviour.
