About Prudence Poswa

About Prudence Poswa, Counselling Psychologist in Boksburg(Sunward Park).

About Prudence Poswa? Well my journey to becoming a psychologist began as a Social Worker, driven by my passion for working with families. I started by researching parents’ perspectives on adolescents’ use of social media and its impact on the parent-adolescent relationship for my Master’s in Social Work.

However, recognizing the need for further professional growth, I pursued an honours degree in Psychology and completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Nelson Mandela University. This educational phase allowed me to explore diverse therapeutic modalities and psychological assessment methods, shaping me into the psychotherapist I am today.

Meanwhile, I conducted a research study on young adults’ perceptions of how parental divorce during childhood influenced their adult development. The findings highlighted the significant role parents play in shaping their children’s lives. It also highlighted the importance of their relationship dynamics in child and adult development.

My internship at the University of Witwatersrand was instrumental in establishing me as a psychotherapist passionate about childhood development, trauma, and addressing unmet childhood needs in adulthood. This focus has become central to my work.
