SONET SMIT
About
I am a Clinical Psychologist with more than two decades of experience working across private practice, psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
My work is grounded in creating a therapeutic space that feels safe, open, structured, and growth-driven. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and BWRT. I tailor each intervention to the unique needs of the individual, couple, family, or group I am working with.
My Story
Over the years, I have worked in Bloemfontein, Prieska, and now Stellenbosch, serving in settings such as Bloemcare, MediClinic, Rosepark Hospital, Aurora Drug & Rehabilitation, Bloemendal Clinic, and Nurture Physical Rehab Centre.
I value honesty, collaboration, and reflective practice, and I believe deeply in the power of long-term, meaningful transformation.
In addition to my clinical work, I spent more than a decade running Prieska Aquatics, where I coached children and teenagers and worked closely with schools, parents, and the Northern Cape Swimming Association. This experience strengthened my passion for youth development, resilience-building, and helping children grow into their strengths.
My work is guided by a simple goal:
to create a positive, safe, and productive space where meaningful change becomes possible.
