About

Angela Deh, Clinical Psychologist – ADCP

I am dedicated to improving the lives of people and families affected by a mental illness. As a highly qualified Clinical Psychologist, psychotherapist and motivational speaker, I advocate for social justice and mental health awareness; as aired on popular radio programs like Radio702 and Power FM. I offer In-person or On-line psychotherapy consultations that supports acute or chronic mental illnesses. If you prefer to consult in -person, my consultation room, located in Gauteng’s Houghton area, is modern, private, comfortable and hygienic, in line with Covid-19 best practice.

I am sensitive to the issues experienced by ethnic, gender and sexual minorities and aim to provide culturally fair psychological assessments. I believe in partnering with my clients and placing each individual at the centre of their own diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

FAQs

How do I book an appointment?

You can book an appointment via this website contact form, email me or send a WhatsApp message.

What can I expect from our first session?

You may feel anxious about what to expect and have many questions. Once your consultation appointment is confirmed, you will receive a form via email to complete. The initial consultation is usually about introductions, a thorough explanation of therapy: consent, confidentiality and limits to this. You may also want to discuss your therapy goals, needs (e.g. number of sessions, budget), and get a general sense of our compatibility. You can expect that I may share topic related information sheets and collaborative assignments to help consolidate your understanding and to support you feeling grounded between our sessions.

Is therapy for me?

Absolutely. Psychotherapy can help you in moments of crisis as well as to maintain feelings of well-being. Professional psychotherapy aims to help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so you can function better and increase your overall mental vitality.

How is therapy different from talking to a friend?

A supportive friend is important but may feel the burden of your story as they may struggle, feeling the need to provide solutions. In contrast, a professionally trained therapist will assess your concerns and then provide you with a wide array of resources to support you.
A conversation with a friend often consists of sharing struggles with each other. In contrast, Psychologists are trained to engage you in a therapeutic conversation. Our aim is for a deeper exploration of meaning in your conversation that may have shaped your current understanding and painful experiences.
Healthy relationships consist of give and take. Therefore, friends can feel disappointed when the conversation is only about you. In contrast, the therapeutic space is there for and about you. Psychologists are ethically bound to strict client confidentiality. What happens in therapy – STAYS in therapy.
