Thomas Geffen Counselling Psychologist

Life can be full of important, painful and challenging relationships, and therapy is a relationship experience that can lead to insight and positive change. I offer face-to-face therapy at Encompass Health Centre in Gardens, Cape Town in the City Bowl area and provide online counselling via Zoom. I have experience in providing psychotherapy, including play therapy and couples therapy and work with infants, children, teenagers and adults. I have a special interest in trauma, anxiety, depression and more, and I offer short-term or more long-term work as needed. It can be difficult to know how to find a therapist. You can find out more about therapy, see what rates I charge, book a session, contact me, or ask a question.
