Thirusha Mohabir Clinical Psychologist

Thirusha Mohabir Clinical Psychologist I am a Clinical Psychologist working in private practice at the Beacon Rock Medical Centre in Umhlanga Rocks, Durban.

I am a dedicated professional committed to providing a variety of quality mental health care services, in English, to clients 4 years of age and older. I have a special interest in Child and Adolescent psychopathology, however I do see adults too. In a safe and contained environment, my client, in collaboration with me, can explore their inner conflicts, relationships, past traumas & present chall

enges. I do not apply a specific therapeutic stance when seeing clients; instead I prefer to tailor my therapeutic interventions according to the unique characteristics of each of my clients & their presenting issues. My goal is to enhance my clients’ understanding of themselves, their relationships & their external surroundings, so that they may grow & attain a sense of personal well-being, & achieve more satisfying relationships with others. Some of the concerns I see patients for include, but are not limited to, the following:
Depression, Bipolar Mood Disorder, Separation anxiety, PTSD, Attempted suicide/Suicidal thoughts, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Disruptive behaviour disorders, Eating disorders, Enuresis/Bedwetting, Emotional difficulties, Intellectual disability (ID), Autism, Schizophrenia, Complicated Grief, Personality disorders, abuse, Bodily complaints (without a medical cause), Problems associated with major life changes, including transitions and illness. Consultation Fees: Standard medical aid rates apply and reduced rates are offered to clients who wish to settle payment via cash, debit card, or credit card. I know that sometimes taking the first step, and asking for help, can be an extremely difficult thing to do, but I am here to accompany you on your unique journey towards better mental wellness. Please feel free to contact me or check out my website for further details about what services I offer.

Earth Day reminds us that care is not just something we offer in therapy rooms, but something we extend to the world around us.

The environments we live in shape our stress levels, our sense of safety, and our overall wellbeing.

Taking care of the Earth is, in many ways, an extension of taking care of ourselves.
Small, intentional actions matter. 🌱

Are we helping our children… or helping too much?

Overparenting often comes from love, anxiety, and the deep desire to protect. But sometimes, stepping in too quickly can quietly weaken the very confidence we are trying to build.

Resilience is not built through comfort. It grows when children face manageable challenges while knowing they are supported.

In this week’s blog, I unpack the subtle signs of overparenting and how to gently shift toward raising more confident, emotionally capable children.

February has a way of amplifying relationship questions.

Not just about marriage.
But about dating.
Commitment.
And whether wanting less, more, or something different still needs justification.

I’ve shared some reflections on the pressure to want romantic relationships; and what people are often actually struggling with underneath that question.

Be happy on purpose.

Not when life gets easier.
Not when everything finally aligns.

Happiness is not something we find at the end of a long road. It is something we practise in small, intentional ways, even on ordinary and difficult days.

I’ve shared some reflections on this in my latest blog post.
You can read it here:
👉

There is a quiet misunderstanding about happiness that many of us carry without realising it. We are taught, subtly and repeatedly, that happiness will arrive once something changes. • When work settles down• When relationships feel easier• When the body feels better• When the world finally ...

The start of a new year often comes with a lot of pressure, to fix, improve, and reinvent ourselves overnight.

From a psychological perspective, January doesn’t need intensity or urgency. It needs orientation, steadiness, and permission to move gently.

I’ve shared my first blog post for the year on my website, reflecting on what it really means to begin again without pressure or perfection.

What AI Companionship Reveals About Our Emotional Needs

There’s a growing conversation around people forming emotional attachments to AI chatbots; but the real topic isn’t technology.
It’s emotional needs, loneliness, vulnerability, and the quiet struggles many people carry in their relationships.

In my latest blog, I explore why some individuals turn to AI for comfort, what this behaviour signals in relationships, and what it teaches us about emotional connection in a modern world.

If you’re curious about the psychological patterns behind this trend, or simply want to understand emotional needs more deeply; this post may offer helpful insight.

You can find the full blog below 👇

There’s been a growing conversation worldwide about people forming emotional attachments to AI chatbots; and in a few cases, even mentioning it in divorce consultations. While the idea may sound unusual at first, it reflects something important about our emotional world today. This trend is less a...
