Meaningful conversations towards resilience and recovery
These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb
– Najwa Zabian

About Me
Dr Ciara Korving
I am a Counselling Psychologist, and have a private practice in Ballito. I work with children, adolescents and adults. Professionally, I seek to engage in meaningful conversations and it’s a privilege to journey with clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I strive to raise awareness around mental health and I find inspiration in stories of overcoming that emerge from the therapeutic process.
Beyond psychology, I am a woman, mother of three, sister, daughter, wife, friend, and proudly South African. I have a passion for nature and the outdoors. I love travel, and coffee.

Therapeutic Approach
My approach is based on a psychodynamic foundation which acknowledges the relevance of early experience in later life. Therapeutic interventions are determined by the unique needs and process of the individual or couple. My approach therefore incorporates other modalities as required, including (but not limited to) existential therapy, gestalt therapy, a mindfulness-based approach, somatic experiencing and narrative therapy.
