Wendy Hartsman is a psychologist based in Linksfield, Johannesburg. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, individuals and parents who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and thus is the perfect tool for therapy for young children. Through play therapy the child learns to make sense of their world and develops effective coping skills. Teenagers need someone who ‘gets’ them. I guide them to accept and understand themselves and to make healthy choices.
I also offer parents the opportunity to learn skills to manage their own emotions in response to parenting, as well as to manage difficult behaviour in their children.
I provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment in which my clients feel safe so I can help them explore and work through their difficulties. My goal is to help clients reach their full potential and lead richer and more satisfying lives.
