Clinical Psychologist | Individual & Teen Therapy in Parktown North
Dr Giada
Del Fabbro
I've always had a desire to understand why people feel and behave the way they do, and to help them work through difficult feelings and life experiences in a healthy, practical way. Whether you're an adult navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, or a teenager needing support with emotional regulation, my goal is to help you make sense of where you are and move toward a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. I also bring a forensic background to my work, which occasionally extends to psycho-legal and medico-legal matters.

Expertise in Clinical Psychology:
Teen Therapy
As with adult therapy, my areas of focus are mood difficulties such as anxiety and depression, trauma as well as issues relating to emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships.I incorporate modules of dialectical behaviour therapy to assist teenagers in expanding their emotional coping skills.
Teaching & Training
I am available for supervision with regards to psychotherapy as well as work in the psycho-legal domain. This involves teaching methods and approaches that I have found useful in my own work to other psychologists as well as providing a space where matters and cases can be thought about together in a constructive manner.
Medico-legal Assessments
I conduct psychological assessments for the purpose of Road Accident Fund claims as well as in matters relating to the evaluation of psychological damages related to medical negligence. These may be for plaintiff or defendant purposes and involve the use of interviews and psychometric testing.
Psycho-legal Assessments
I conduct psychological assessments for the purposes of evaluating sexual abuse claims, as well as sentencing / correctional recommendations in criminal matters, together with criminal capacity and responsibility assessments in criminal matters. These also involve the use of interviews and psychometric testing.
Custody Evaluations
I conduct psychological assessments to assist in determining what arrangements cater to the best interests of minor children involved in custody disputes. This involves the use of interviews, psychometric testing and interactional observations to inform recommendations with regards to residence and contact/access.
