Dr Diane Preddy Counselling Psychologist
Dr Diane Preddy Counselling Psychologist I am the Eternal Optimist!
I am registered as a counselling psychologist and have been in private practice since 1987.
I work holistically with body, mind and spirit, to help people to develop healthier and more balanced lives with increased meaning and purpose.
I refer to both Eastern and Western philosophy and psychology to help individuals, couples and families to relate better to both themselves and others.
Marriage/relationship counselling:
We often depend on other people for love, companionship, play and other human needs.
When the communication and caring in the relationship becomes sticky, it is time for the intervention of a neutral, trained, professional third-party such as myself.
Even if the relationship is with your self, your body, your work or your environment, it deserves attention and care.
Zen Therapy:
is the combination of Eastern and Western Psychology designed to help people to gain happiness and contentment in relating both to themselves and others.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy:
This is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that includes Mindfulness, unconditional acceptance and pure awareness as well as practical thought and behaviour improvement methods.
I am registered as a counseling psychologist and have been in private practice since 1987. I work holistically to help people to develop healthier and more balanced lives with increased meaning and purpose. In recent years, specialist and super specialist categories have evolved in medical and allied professions such as psychology. Psychologists such as myself are registered with the HPCSA and medical aids as either clinical, Counselling, educational, industrial or research psychologists. Counseling psychologists deal with less severe human problems than clinical psychologists, who are trained in an inpatient clinic with a team of medical doctors, psychiatrists etc. We specialize in adjustment difficulties that people may encounter as they journey through this life. We super-specialize in relationships, eg marriage, family, group and intra-personal. Personally I focus a great deal on all of the different levels of consciousness and functioning that comprise a human being, the aim being to harmonize these. The result is a sense of peace and well-being within ones mind and body and increased confidence,personal power and self- control. I utilize both Eastern/Buddhist and western psychology in this quest.
