Reviews that help you find the right psychologist in South Africa

ThinkGroup collects structured feedback from people who have actually sat in the room. Consultation style, waiting times, medical aid claims, telehealth options, how the intake felt. Alongside the reviews we publish plain-language explainers on first sessions, GP referrals and the difference between a clinical psychologist and a counsellor.

Filter by suburb, session language, approach and whether evening or weekend slots exist. Practitioners can claim a listing and respond to feedback. Seen a therapist in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or Pretoria? Add your review so the next person has an easier time choosing.

ThinkGroup intro focus

Someone else is deciding right now

A review about waiting times, a first session that felt rushed, or a practice that finally explained medical aid claims in plain terms — that is what shortens the search for the next person. If you have sat in a consulting room in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or Pretoria, your account belongs here.
