Therapists in Gauteng

Life's challenges can prove to be overwhelming especially during times when it feels as though those around us do not quite understand how to be there for us. Sometimes we find that we are able to overcome those difficulties; however, it is not always that we manage to achieve this. Each person is faced with problems ranging from relationship issues, poor stress tolerance, adjustment difficulties to anxiety and depression, among others. This is when the help of a warm, attuned and compassionate professional comes in handy to help you navigate and manage better with life's stressors.

As we face day to day challenges, my ideal client would be someone who finds it hard to complete even the simplest day to day tasks due to stress, or depression. If you as an individual or in a relationship/marriage are overwhelmed with stress and emotions of uncertainty and anxiety, then that would make you my ideal client. If you are someone who is looking for empathy, congruency and genuineness in therapy then you are in luck as those are my core fundamentals.

I am passionate about seeing how people create meaningful relationships, both with themselves and in their environment, that assists them to develop and self-actualise. The way I work is from an Integrative Interactional Approach, this means that I see the individual as a holistic system, by looking at both the person’s internal psychological processes and how a person relates to their environment. How we interact with ourselves, our environment, and the people around us determines our well-being.

Every one of us is a professional athlete, intent on achieving personal greatness, whether this entails a balanced lifestyle, a more fulfilling relationship, a new business venture, a career change or promotion at work, retirement, an investment portfolio, the birth of a child, rehabilitation following surgery, diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition, an exercise programme or a goal in sport at any level. All aspects of life that we experience as intrinsically meaningful require that we feel in control, committed to goals, confident in our abilities and skills, perceiving challenges as opportunities for growth and success.

Working with trauma presents as a space that can be messy and produce multiple forms of obstacles, but it is through working with some history that may be hurtful and confusing that growth takes place not only for the client but for me as a counsellor. Identifying that the need is to firstly speak and be heard, held in the moment, guided in understanding their current physical and psychological reactions due to their traumas. Goals align around either a physical need or psychological motivation to have better/healthier coping mechanisms. As said in their needs, being heard and held in a space allows for a sense of freedom to let go.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in private practice and offer supportive short-term and long-term psychotherapy that is psychodynamically-informed. I provide a safe and empathetic space for adults, adolescents, and couples to explore their difficulties and desire for self-development. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy and endeavour to facilitate a process that uncovers the conscious and unconscious motivations and defense mechanisms that maintain a client’s struggles and unhealthy relational patterns.

I help LGBTQ+ (or questioning) and marginalized people struggling with identity development, sex/sexual health issues, relational trauma & self-worth/self-esteem, cultivate a fulfilling relationship with themself and others within the context of rigid cultural expectations. Feeling seen is a human need, and often, in an effort to be accepted we push down the very parts of ourselves that make us unique in favor of accomplishment, likability and to avoid punishment or embarrassment.
