Ute Sinkala
Clinical Psychologist
M.A. Clinical Psychology, UNAM.
I am a clinical psychologist. I went into private practice as a psychological counselor in 2008. After completing my Master’s degree at the University of Namibia (UNAM) in 2011, I worked at the Ministry of Health’s Psychiatry Department for 2 years. I went into private practice as a clinical psychologist in 2013. My vision is to help shape Namibia into a nation with confidence. I have a passion to help individuals build happy, confident and strong relationships with themselves and others. I particularly enjoy working with teenagers and their families as well as young adults. My approach is psychodynamic and I value ego state-therapy. I am currently a Phd candidate at the University of South Africa (UNISA) in the field of forensic psychology, correctional services. This is fuelled by my passion for forensic psychology. Since 2016, I am involved at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) as part time lecturer and moderator in the Department of Social Sciences.
