Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. I am passionate about creating a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and work towards meaningful change.
 
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing primarily on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and play therapy. I believe that exploring both past experiences and present challenges helps foster lasting emotional growth, resilience, and healthier relationships. Because every person’s journey is unique, I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs.
 
I have a particular interest in supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship and family challenges, and periods of adjustment. I also offer psychoeducational and school readiness assessments.
 
Above all, I aim to provide a supportive, evidence-based space where clients of all ages can gain insight, build coping skills, and move towards emotional wellbeing and personal growth.

Counselling Psychologist

I am a registered Counselling Psychologist. I have experience in working with individual adults, adolescents and couples around issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, bereavement and relationship difficulties. I have a special interest in couple’s/marriage therapy and counselling. As such, I use the Gottman Method of couple’s therapy in my work with couples. I have completed level 1 and 2 training in the Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy and am currently registered for level 3.

My general approach to treatment is guided by my client’s needs, however, I primarily work from a narrative orientation. This means, I work collaboratively with my clients to externalize their problems or challenges, helping them to deconstruct the problematic story so we can begin to reconstruct it. This allows the client to identify their innate skills, talents, strengths and resources so they may call upon them more consciously when needed.
