Our Clients' Feedback
Very competent, efficient, and friendly clinic. Very happy to have found it.
Chris Rollins
I am very grateful to Dr Kitchin because after so many years of pain without a diagnosis she helped me. After doing blood tests and a scan she referred me to a specialist in Marina where I was helped fast and had surgery. I was not sent home with mere painkillers as usual. I thank God for her.
Sefela Tlhofaetsi
Exceptional and efficient service. The personnel is amazing too and Dr Pule-Kitchin is one of a kind and will never forget her diligence, patience and love.

The last 7 years I have been with only one doctor and I must she is my Guardian Angel and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better doctor! Dr Kitchin from Bongaka Health Care Clinic has not only saved my life but the lives of my family members. She is so patient with you and I never felt rushed whenever I was consulting with her. Her holistic approach toward treating me and my family has saved us money because she would ensure that our mental health is in check which then affects our physical health. I will never go to another clinic cause Dr K as we all fondly call her has our health in check.

Deliberate self-harm refers to any intentional act of causing physical injury to oneself without the intention to commit suicide. Common methods of deliberate self-harm include cutting, burning, scratching, or hitting oneself. These behaviors are often used as a coping mechanism by those struggling to manage intense emotional pain or distress, anxiety, depression or trauma. DHS provides a temporary sense of relief or control, which often distracts someone from emotional pain or creats a physical expression of inner turmoil. The emotional relief is short-lived and often lead to a vicious cycle of shame, guilt, and further self-harm. Understanding the Causes Self-harm can be caused by a variety of underlying issues, including: 1. Emotional Regulation: Many individuals who self-harm do so to manage overwhelming emotions, such as anger, sadness, or anxiety. The act of self-harm can provide a temporary sense of relief or control over these emotions. 2. Trauma and Abuse : Past or current experiences of trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse, can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-loathing. For some, self-harm becomes a way to express these unresolved emotions or to punish themselves. 3.

These disorders can amplify negative emotions and thoughts, making self-harm a seemingly viable way to cope. 4.
