Shelley Hall

Introduction

I have over 20 years of experience working as a Clinical Psychologist in a wide variety of settings. I work with both adults and children.

I am passionate about seeing people grow! Like shed the past if it haunts you, change thoughts and behaviours that are plaguing you or just fine tune that inner self. With my well experienced therapist’s intuition and skills, I love helping someone achieve the ideal self. This does not mean completely casting away everything about you or turning you into some sort of robot, no! It means we decide what must go and what must stay. We then target the go list, replacing it with exactly what you want instead. (Not my suggestions, I don’t use hypnotherapy.) Doesn’t that sound amazing?

I trained as a Clinical Psychologist in Zululand and in Pietermaritzburg. Half of my internship was spent in Pietermaritzburg working in Townhill and Fort Napier hospitals and their clinics. The other was spent in the clinics of companies such as Mondi, Ports Authority, Bell and University of Zululand’s community clinic. I was trained in Psychodynamic therapy and a lot of time was dedicated to the assessment of children. Post graduation I have undertaken and still continue to study various therapies such as sand tray therapy, Brainspotting and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT).

My areas of work include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Family systems, Psychodynamic therapy as well as Solution-Focused therapy. An integrative approach is central to the practice to allow for comprehensive and uniquely tailored treatment plans to collaboratively meet individuals’ psychological needs and personal goals.

  • Children: Anyone under the ages of 18 years. Shelley tailors therapy to your child’s needs. Shelley has experience and training in various methods such as BWRT, sand tray therapy and play therapy. Assessment, diagnosis and therapy for children for difficulties such as ADHD, Mood disorders, Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, Emotional Regulation. Shelley is able to provide therapy in Afrikaans too. Assessment is limited to English.
  • Adults: Shelley has a wide variety of training in therapy methodologies and tries to find ones best suited to your needs. BWRT, Brainspotting, DBT, psychodynamic therapies are a few examples. Diagnosis and therapy for Mental health disorders such as PTSD, Grief, Anxiety and Depression.
  • Psycholegal work: Shelley does not accept all cases. An appointment is made to discuss what is needed and decide whether Shelley is able to assist. It is best to bring clear, written instruction from the Court or Attorney as to what is required of Shelley. Shelley does not provide neuropsychological assessments eg brain injury or provide reports for the Road Accident Fund nor Workmen’s compensation.
  • Growth: You do not need to have a Clinical condition to see Shelley. She enjoys working to help you grow too. Shelley can help you target limiting behaviours and beliefs to see you become your best self. Packages are available for cash rates and may be discussed at the first booking.

  • Autoimmune illnesses & Diseases: It is well known that psychology plays a powerful role in the progress or regression of physical ailments. BWRT® Level 3 is designed to enhance these psychological forces in a positive manner. BWRT® Level 3 is not designed to ‘cure’ any physiological illness. Rather it works to enhance body-brain-immune system to improve healing and natural ‘fight’ responses.

 

  • Coffee Break: I want a brief meeting to discuss options.
  • Conceptualise: I want change but don’t know where to begin. Let’s explore your past and present to establish a future self.
  • Target: I’ve had many knocks in life and want them firmly in my past / I know what I want to change / I’m plagued with anxiety. Let’s abolish it!
  • Advance: I’m pretty happy with my life I just want to put some healthier habits in place. I’d love to ‘create and install’ a better version of me. For those without traumatic experiences.
  • Smashing Limits: I am not as effective as others, I don’t quite ‘get’ what I’ve missed but feel as if others have an ‘instruction book of life’. I keep stumbling.
  • Complete Mess: My life is a total mess. I need a major life reset.
  • First Aid: I’ve recently experienced a trauma or major loss.
  • Work with my physical health: BWRT level 3.
