Meet Clinical Phycologist

Vuyolwethu Tuluma

Hi, I’m Vuyolwethu Tuluma, a clinical psychologist with a Master’s degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. 

For over a decade, I’ve honed my skills at a psychiatric hospital while also managing my private practice since 2016. 

Along the way, I’ve written a self-help book for couples struggling with conflict, and I regularly contribute to radio and digital platforms to advocate for mental well-being. 

My approach to therapy is eclectic, with a strong foundation in psychodynamic psychotherapy. 

Clients often tell me that my calming presence makes them feel at ease, and I’m committed to providing personalized care based on each individual’s unique needs…
