About Wendy Rossouw

Wendy Rossouw

MA Clinical Psychologist

With over 30 years of private practice in Montevista, Cape Town, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex mental health challenges and build lives worth living.

My practice focuses on working with patients experiencing complex presentations, including Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and trauma-related disorders. I believe in the power of evidence-based treatment combined with compassionate, individualized care.

Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused interventions, I help clients develop skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. My approach balances acceptance and change, supporting meaningful and sustainable personal growth.
