Clinical work

Psychiatry, psychotherapy and the work of understanding.

Seeking help is rarely simple. For too long, mental health care carried a weight of stigma that kept people from the conversations they needed. That is changing. Contemporary psychiatry can hold both the medical and the human dimensions of difficulty — diagnosis and treatment alongside conversation, context and time.

Dr van Zyl’s clinical work spans specialist psychiatric assessment, psychotherapeutic treatment and contemplative approaches. Treatment is shaped around the individual rather than forced into a standard programme — whether that involves careful medication, inpatient care, a structured group, depth psychotherapy or psychoanalytic work.
