About

Candice Nicolo

Clinical Psychologist

M.A (Clin.Psych, UCT)

HPCSA reg: PS 0143138

BHF Practice nr: 0904368

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist based in Noordhoek, Cape Town in the Western Cape, South Africa.

I provide a range of clinical and therapeutic services and work with individuals of all ages and life stages.

Before entering the mental health field, I worked in the media and advertising industry for more than 20 years. Through my engagement with people and extensive travel, I've learnt invaluable skills that I have brought into my work. I also developed a keen interest in people and how they relate to others, which led to my entry in the field of Psychology.

I practice within a relational frame, as I believe that we develop into the people we are through our relationships throughout our lives. These experiences can lead to positive and negative outcomes.

I am aware that everyone's life experiences and challenges are unique, and as such I draw on various modalities in order to provide tailored care.

Through providing a safe and supportive therapeutic space, an understanding of your needs and means to overcome the challenges you face, can be gained.

"Asking for help can feel overwhelming, but I believe that reaching out shows courage and strength."
