Registered Psychologist Shauntelle Benjamin is passionate about those lightbulb moments: The realisation that something we have always held to be true might not be true, or that maybe we can shift something small that could change our whole lives. They are happy to acknowledge that they are not perfect – no one is perfect. It’s the imperfections that make us who we are.

Shauntelle loves to work with people who are new to therapy or people who have tried therapy and thought it wasn’t for them. They love to work with playful people, serious people and those who struggle to make themselves heard.

Shauntelle is a Registered Psychologist whose practice makes use of  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy or Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) techniques.

“The primary style I use is open listening. I listen first, ask questions later. Most of the time I fall into the more casual than formal therapeutic style – closer to friend than guide: the kind who will listen and say what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. I’ve seen all of these therapeutic styles improve the lives of my clients. Some of those changes are subtle: More smiles, better posture, a change in self-description. Others are much more overt: A shift in clothing choice, a career change, more consistent good moods.”
