Megan Vries
Clinical Psychologist
Specialising in therapy for adults and adolescents.
Welcome
My name is Megan Vries. I am a clinical psychologist, based in Craighall Park, providing therapy to adults and adolescents.
Starting therapy may seem daunting. I hope this website is helpful in guiding your decision to start therapy.
Qualifications:
Bachelor of Laws (LLB) (Wits)
Honours in Psychology (Wits)
Masters in Clinical Psychology (Wits)
Therapeutic Approach
I aim to gain a deeper understanding of the individual. I believe that patterns of relating to yourself and others are rooted in early experiences. In therapy, we explore the emotions, thoughts and beliefs that shape behaviour and the way in which you relate to yourself and others.
I endeavour to create a strong therapeutic alliance and do this by creating an environment that is empathic and non-judgemental.
About Me
Before qualifying as a clinical psychologist, I practiced as an attorney at Webber Wentzel Attorneys and Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr. My passion for mental health and psychology informed my decision to start studying psychology at the University of Witwatersrand on a part-time basis. I thoroughly enjoyed my studies and, ultimately, left law the practice to pursue psychology on a full-time basis. I completed my Honours Degree in Psychology and Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, at the University of Witwatersrand.
