My name is Rose Picas, a Counselling Psychologist working in Modderfontein, Johannesburg. I work with both children and adults using a psychodynamic approach. By establishing a shared awareness of my client’s challenges in a compassionate and holding environment, I aim to help them develop a deep sense of self-understanding.
I’m passionate about working with my clients to process life’s challenges through expressing and understanding their emotions and making meaning of their lived experiences. Working to bring unconscious thoughts, feelings, and internal conflicts to the surface allows for a richer and more complex understanding of oneself. Through this greater self-awareness, distress can be reduced, and interpersonal relationships can be improved.

Monday to Friday, by appointment.
I offer psychological assessments that use a client’s history and personal insights, approved standardised tests and clinical observations to develop a personalised and holistic picture of the client.
I offer play therapy, which allows a child to navigate their emotions and experiences through play and age-appropriate discussion.
I offer talk therapy for adolescents and adults with a particular interest in working with those struggling with adjustment, stress, trauma, interpersonal/relationship challenges, and parenting difficulties.
