I am a Counselling Psychologist, licensed with the Community Development Authority (CDA) and Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I have over 14 years’ experience of therapeutically supporting adolescents and adults presenting with a variety of mental health challenges.
I have an interest working with (but not exclusive to) clients that present with anxiety and stress, depression, infertility, emotional regulation, trauma, and grief. I have a special interest in reproductive psychology, supporting individuals and couples dealing with infertility, and those undergoing assisted reproductive therapy (ART).
I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support adolescents and adults in managing emotional distress, building healthier coping strategies, and creating lasting behavioural change. These therapeutic methods combine practical skills with a focus on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and processing distressing experiences. This helps in fostering greater confidence and resilience. I have a neuroaffirmative approach in supporting individuals and families that consider themselves neurodiverse.
I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, heal and create meaningful change in their life. As a psychologist, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive and compassionate environment where you feel encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences with openness and honesty. I also view therapy as a collaborative journey, guided by approaches that are grounded in research and supported by evidence-based practices.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process which is built on trust and mutual respect. Together, we will work to identify the challenges you face, clarify your goals, and co-develop strategies that support meaningful progress and enhance your overall well-being. Whether you are facing a specific life difficulty or seeking deeper personal insight and growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.
