About me
Kimona is a Clinical Psychologist who believes meaningful change is possible. Your past experiences don’t have to keep you stuck in unhelpful cycles. She works with you to identify and release outdated thoughts and emotional patterns that may be holding you back, helping you develop healthier ways of responding so you can move forward with greater control, purpose and fulfillment.
She completed her Bachelor of Arts, Honours, and Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand. Her clinical training took place at Tara H. Moross Psychiatric Hospital, where she worked with adults and adolescents across a range of inpatient and outpatient settings, providing individual and group psychotherapy for diverse emotional, psychological, and personality difficulties.
She later completed her community service at Sizwe Tropical Disease Hospital, working with patients living with drug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV. This experience deepened her understanding of the close connection between physical and emotional health. As well as the profound effects of stigma, trauma and socioeconomic hardship. Working closely with mothers, infants and families during this time sparked a special interest in reproductive mental health and early attachment relationships.
Since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist, she has continued to expand her clinical skills through ongoing training in parent–infant psychotherapy with Ububele and is a member of the South African Association for Infant Mental Health (ZA-AIMH). She is also affiliated with the South African Society of Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy (SASREG). With a particular focus on women’s emotional well-being across the reproductive journey.
Kimona is a Certified BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®) Practitioner with the Terence Watts BWRT International Institute. Her brain-based work helps clients gain relief, build control and lead more meaningful lives.
