ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Gina Sim and I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Funders.

I primarily treat adolescents and adults with moderate to severe psychological issues, and who are in need of therapeutic support. I have a special interest in working with adolescents in the areas of depression, anxiety, behavioural problems, suicidality and self-harming behaviours.

My approach to therapy is warm and open, and can be either non-directive or structured - the details of each specific case will determine the most suitable approach.

"It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried."

-Carl Rodgers-
