We are a Boutique Private Therapy Practice Based in Cape Town

Types of Therapy We Specialise In

At The Tiny Room, we take great pride in being a boutique private therapy practice that goes above and beyond to deliver a personalised and tailored experience for our valued clients.

Being a boutique practice allows us to maintain a smaller client base, which in turn enables us to provide a higher level of specialised attention and care to each individual we serve. Our team comprises experienced mental health care practitioners who are wholly dedicated to forming close partnerships with our clients, gaining a deep understanding of their unique needs, and crafting customised mental health care journeys accordingly.

In addition to our client-centered approach, we offer an extensive range of mental health care services, incorporating specialised techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, evidence-based therapy, art therapy, and much more. Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in our provision of sessions in both Afrikaans and English, as well as online sessions tailored for clients residing outside of Cape Town. Moreover, we strive to accommodate our clients' schedules by offering flexible appointment options.

Recognising the paramount importance of privacy and confidentiality within therapeutic sessions, we take pride in offering an intimate and secure space for clients to delve into their thoughts and emotions.

If you are seeking a private therapy practice that prioritises your individual needs and embarks on a personalised mental health care journey alongside you, we warmly invite you to reach out to us. Whether you wish to schedule a consultation or learn more about our comprehensive range of services, we are eager to assist you.
