Welcome
 

My name is Sheetal Vallabh. I am clinical psychologist and a mediator in private practice. Before qualifying as a clinical psychologist, I practiced as an attorney at two law firms in Johannesburg, Webber Wentzel (Bowens) and Edward Nathan & Friedland (Sonnenbergs). 

In my therapeutic capacity, I provide specialised interventions for adults, couples and families. 

As a separation and divorce mediator, I support families through the emotional, psychological and logistical complexities of a separation and divorce and I assist parents with creating post-separation and divorce arrangements. 

I also mediate disputes between family members, such as between a parent and a child, between siblings, or between in-laws, and I mediate disputes and conflict arising in families who work together in a family business.

At an organisational level, my mediation services include work-related conflict and dispute resolution between individuals and teams working together.
