Start your journey to mental wellbeing at Harmony Psychiatric Clinic.
Welcome to Harmony, a leading Cape Town Psychiatric Clinic.
Harmony is registered with the Department of Health and the Department Of Social Development. It is a member of the Psychiatric Focus Form and the National Hospital Network.
You deserve to be happy and feel in control of your life.
Good mental health is a right. While it’s normal to worry, feel sad, upset or have difficulty dealing with negative emotions from time to time, this usually passes.
But for some of us, these feelings don’t resolve on their own. They worsen with time and lead to long-term mental health issues like depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and health problems such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD and much more.
It’s what we call a mental health condition. It’s a disorder that negatively impacts your thoughts, mood, behaviour and overall wellbeing. But it doesn’t define you. And if you’ve been suffering in silence, break the cycle. Struggling with your mental health isn’t a dirty little secret that you have to guard at all costs. No one is judging you.
“Mental health does not discriminate. We can all develop mental health problems at different points in our lives.”
Here is the good news…
Mental health disorders are treatable, and you can make a lasting recovery. We’d like to see you through this journey.
At Harmony, we provide the best mental health treatment available, helping you to heal and embrace the life you’ve always wanted in a safe and supportive environment. We cater to those in a psychological crisis brought on by a traumatic event, life stressors, an underlying psychiatric vulnerability, a chronic illness or a combination of these factors.
No two people are alike, which is why we provide a bespoke treatment plan designed to treat the immediate problem. And we help you and your loved ones to plan your life post-discharge. While our immediate focus is to provide relief from the symptoms of psychiatric illnesses, our ultimate goal is to help you change the direction of your life.
Sustainable mental health doesn’t have to be a dream. Make it your reality. Choose Harmony.

We consistently search for new and improved ways to treat our patients.
We recognise that mental health is complex, and no patient is the same. It’s why we consider a broader framework when addressing the individual needs of you, our patient. We take the whole person, not just their psychiatric diagnosis, into consideration.
Central Pillars of our Treatment Approach
At Harmony, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and specifically the development of mindfulness is a key focus area. So we intentionally create time in our programme for you to practise and master this vital skill.
We know that trauma is a leading cause of mental illness, so we’ll work closely with you to identify past trauma and deal with it effectively during your stay.
While most of the therapy occurs in therapeutic groups, you’ll also attend individual sessions with your assigned therapist. During these sessions, you’ll be given personalised assignments to work on. Conjoint sessions, whether via Skype or in-person with those in your therapy group, will be arranged to guarantee everyone work towards a common goal.

Apart from the programme activities, you can also go for mountain hikes, walks on the beach, and various other expeditions. After a busy day of introspection and counselling sessions, kick back and relax in the sanctuary of your room. For those who prefer to be alone, you can arrange a private suite.
