Birgit Schreiber
Psychologist
Introduction
---
I only offer online therapy.
---
I have 25 years’ experience and still love being able to facilitate personal, familial, emotional, social and professional growth of my clients. I received my PhD in Psychology from the University of the Western Cape, and have been registered as a psychotherapist since 2000.
I have considerable experience in working with adolescents, adults, and with couples and I’m particularly interested in psychodynamic ways of understanding patterns and relational engagements. I use dynamic interpretations and cognitive-dynamic techniques to unlock potential and new ways of relating and being. I like to set a limited number of sessions which are used in outcomes focussed ways to move towards a deeper understanding and a more profound experience of living.
I have integrated the domains of therapy, practice, teaching, and research, which has enabled me to gain practical, experiential, and therapeutic insights. I am appointed as Extraordinary Professor at my alma mater, UWC in Cape Town. I have over 90 publications, and have been a visiting scholar at University California, Berkley, NYU, KU Leuven and have taught at various other universities across the globe. Amongst the many awards received, I received the Noam Chomsky Award for international research in 2022.
I look forward to partnering with my clients in active ways, ready to embark on a life vibrant with aliveness and flourishing.
