Child psychiatrist

The Tiny Room has been a great help to my teens - we had recently moved to a new town, and these 'chat sessions' helped them better deal with frustrations related to that and being a teenager in general. I was very impressed that they were covering important issues we were dealing with in the home, which we as parents had not mentioned. I find that my kids now have more resilience, and are better able to manage frustrations

I've never really been excited by the thought of therapy or counselling. The thought used to give me anxiety, however Lucinda's way of getting involved is very intense and welcoming.Progress is always on the table. Her support and guidance has guided me from a doubtful and fearful perspective to trusting my intuition and myself on a deeper level.She's helped me cope with many of life's uturns and detours which has made me better equipped to take on life and all its chaos with ease and confidence.

I literally used the last money that I had to go see Dr Motala, it was on a Friday - The next Monday was the first time in half a decade that I looked forward to living. Words are inadequate to describe how appreciative I am.

Such a friendly and warm space for teens to feel safe and acknowledged. Lucinda's councelling was a great confidence boost for my daugther! She looked forward to her sessions every week, and after each session I could see an improvement in her self-worth. Thank you to The Tiny Room for the amazing work you do!

Been around a block or two and out of desperation my husband found Dr Motala. With not much information from my background but a willingness to want to feel better DocM got to the point and entrusted me to get on with it. I feel so much better. Thank you, highly recommend the whole team☀️

I couldn't have asked for a better experience, Dr Motala really takes care of you while taking time to establish the way forward. Thumbs up! Ten out of ten!

Personally my journey started 2 years ago when I started going to psychologist and then psychiatrist. In June this year I had my last psychiatrist appointment and started seeing Lucinda. For me, her 8 sessions have given me more help, guidance and healing than the past year and a half of therapy. I’m extremely grateful for the peaceful environment the Tiny Room has created for everyone and anyone to grow and discover themselves. I’ve learnt to accept who I am and become more me in the best way possible. I would encourage anyone thinking about bettering themselves to start their therapeutic journey today.

As great as life can be, it can be tough and the toughness, circumstances, can at times cloud our own perception of ourselves and the world around us. That was how I felt before going to The Tiny Room. Clouded. The 8-week process that allows you to unpack and look inward and to remember your priceless value and worth, as dramatic as it may sound, is life-changing. Truly. If you have ever been to therapy and felt that it was not for you, PLEASE give The Tiny Room a try! You will quite literally never want to leave, and it will change your life and it will help you to foster a better relationship with yourself and those around you.Thank you Lucinda for everything!

Dr Motala is great, I am just not happy with his receptionist Naajidah, getting hold of her is impossible, she doesn't answer the phone, when you see that she is on line on watsapp and try to call, she won't pick up. When she finally answers your watsapp, it takes her 3 days to locate the email you sent to her twice. After 4 days of her not responding, you call and she will yet begin to look for your email and this time even when you explain to her, she still doesn't understand, I am beyond frustrated.

Dr. Motala is kind, patient and takes time to understand exactly why you feeling anxious or stressed. I feel extremely comfortable speaking to him and his assistance has helped me greatly thus far. I would strongly recommend Dr. Motala to anyone who requires help with feeling anxious, stressed or depressed. I found his therapy sessions very helpful, as I was struggling to unpack my emotions, as I do not trust or open up easily. However with this Dr I am very at ease. I say again he is one of the most highly recommended Dr's in Johannesburg.
