Author: Justine Dreyer

I’m Dr Justine Dreyer, a South African psychiatrist based in George, Western Cape. I write and teach to make evidence-based mental health accessible, honest, and local. My work spans clinical psychiatry, public-facing education, and the careful integration of Christian faith and mental healthcare. I publish practical South African resources and articles on my website and social media. Through my newsletter, "Psychiatry and the Church", I explore overlapping concepts and develop tools for Christian leaders and clinicians. My personal blog, "Psychiatrist at the Altar" contains worship-infused reflections on suffering and Christ-centred healing. I’m passionate about patient-centred care, understanding and treating the whole person within a biopsychosocial-spiritual model. Media/research collaboration enquiries are welcome. Online content is educational, not personal medical advice.

  • A brief practice update

    ByJustine Dreyer

    I have been in private psychiatric practice since 2021, and like many practices, mine has evolved over time.

    As my practice has matured, I have become clearer about where my clinical interests lie and how they continue to develop. I am in the process of refining the focus areas of my practice to better reflect the direction I am moving in professionally. I am restructuring my website and online presence accordingly.
