About Asanda Madi
I am a Clinical Psychologist practicing in Westdene, Johannesburg. I am an enthusiast for education, self-awareness and wellness. I completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS). Prior to that I completed my Honors Degree in Psychology and Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Physiology at WITS. I completed my internship at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto and my community service training at the Johannesburg Metropolitan Community Clinics, working in the South of Johannesburg and Orange Farm. Since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist, I have continuously sought to develop myself professionally and to explore my different interests and skills. I have done this through my professional clinical work in state and in the private sector. I have also done this through my online platforms, my lecturing and supervision of psychology interns. I have also written articles for GlamourSA magazine, The Sowetan and other publications.
Individual Therapy
Therapy is a deeply insightful intervention that helps individuals understand the unconscious patterns, emotions, and past experiences shaping their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Rooted in the belief that our early relationships and unresolved conflicts influence how we navigate life, therapy offers a space for self-exploration and meaningful change.
Play Therapy
Children aged 6 – 13
Play therapy is a powerful tool for understanding and working with children’s emotions. Play therapy views play as a child’s natural language—a means of expressing unconscious thoughts, conflicts, and emotions that they may not have the words to articulate.
Psychological Assessment
For all ages
Psychological and neuropsychiatric assessments are comprehensive evaluations designed to gain deeper insight into a person’s emotional, cognitive, and personality functioning. These assessments are often used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and understanding individual strengths and challenges in various areas of life.
Couples Therapy
Married/Unmarried/Friends/Business Partners
Relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or familial, come with their own unique challenges. Couples therapy is a powerful tool designed to help partners—married or unmarried—as well as close friendships navigate conflicts, improve communication, and build stronger, healthier connections.
Group Facilitation and Guest Speaking
As a clinical psychologist, I offer expertly guided group facilitation and engaging guest speaking services tailored to various audiences, including mental health professionals, corporate teams, schools, and community groups. My approach is informed by psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each session is both impactful and insightful.
