Feel it. Understand it.
Settle it.
Therapy, assessments, and mental health training with Lerato Diale — a client-centred practice where you set the pace, and the goal is leaving every session more regulated than you arrived.
You are the expert on your own life. Therapy works best when it starts from there.
Client-centred
No fixed script, no one-size-fits-all programme. Sessions follow what matters to you, at a pace that feels safe — because insight that's rushed rarely lasts.
Systems-aware
No man is an island. Most difficulties grow out of relationships, families, and workplaces — so we look at the whole picture with what Lerato calls a delicate curiosity.
Four ways to work together
Individual psychotherapy
One-on-one sessions for anxiety, relationships, grief, identity, and life transitions — unpacking what lies in the mind and heart, together.
School & IQ assessments
Formal assessments required for school placement, plus IQ measures — handled gently, with clear reports for parents and schools.
Workplace mental health talks
Psychoeducation sessions that make mental health practical and speakable at work — no jargon, no lecture.
Executive training
Programmes helping leaders regulate under pressure, communicate honestly, and build teams people don't burn out in.
Curious first, clinical second.
Lerato Diale has spent more than five years in private practice, and has heard therapy described as "scary" more times than she can count. Her work is built to prove the opposite: that sitting with a psychologist can be one of the least judgemental hours in your week.
Her practice, Regulated Heads, treats every client as the expert of their own experience — and approaches every difficulty with curiosity about the relationships and history around it, not just the symptom in front of her.
Your first session, demystified.
Reach out
Send a short note — a sentence is enough. You'll get a reply within two working days with available times.
We talk, you lead
The first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. Share as much or as little as feels right.
We make a plan together
Frequency, focus, and goals are decided with you — and revisited as things shift.
The hardest part
is this part.
One short message is all it takes to start. In-person sessions in Pretoria, or online from anywhere in South Africa.
