Counselling Psychologist – Fiona Chandler

I am a registered counselling psychologist with the HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa).
In my practice I consult mainly with adults about a variety of issues that might urge them to seek the help of a psychologist.
I work with both individuals and couples and have a special interest in the following areas:

  • Relationship issues
  • Adjustment difficulties
  • Stress management
  • Trauma
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Bereavement and loss


Consulting Room

My consulting room is in a private and tranquil setting next door to my house in Somerset West. There is off-street secure parking on the premises. The practice consists of a counselling and office area facing a private courtyard as well as a bathroom.


Counseling Psychologist Somerset West - Cape Town

How does Counselling work?

Counselling sessions are booked on an appointment basis. Appointments may be booked from 8am until 6pm (Monday to Friday) and from 9am until 12pm (Saturdays) subject to availability. Sessions are offered in English and are approximately 1 hour in duration. Counselling fees are within recommended medical aid rates.
My work is predominantly influenced by Narrative Therapy. I believe that people possess within themselves the capacity to solve their problems. I see my role as a psychologist to facilitate this process. I prefer short-term therapy. This serves to empower the client and make therapy more affordable.

What is a Counselling Psychologist?

The scope of practice of a counselling psychologist is outlined by the HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa) on their website as follows:

“Counselling psychologists assist relatively well-adjusted people in dealing with normal problems of life concerning all stages and aspects of a person’s existence in order to facilitate desirable psychological adjustment, growth, and maturity.”
