Child/Teen
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Children and adolescents often express distress through behaviour rather than words. My work focuses on understanding these responses as adaptive ways of coping with underlying experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach and a focus on how young people learn to adapt to feel safe, I support both the child and their caregivers in creating greater understanding, regulation, and connection.

Cape Town is South Africa's legislative capital and one of its most sought-after cities, but its beauty masks stark inequality between wealthy areas like the Atlantic Seaboard and Constantia, and the difficult conditions faced by residents of the Cape Flats. The mental health landscape is shaped by crime anxiety, economic stress, and a legacy of racial and social trauma; demand for therapy is high among professionals, creatives, and the expat and tourism-adjacent communities. A strong private therapy sector operates in the Southern Suburbs, City Bowl, Sea Point, and De Waterkant, with many practitioners offering expertise in trauma, identity, and relationship work. English is the primary language of therapy in private practice, and many therapists also offer telehealth for clients in surrounding towns and rural areas.
