The patient therapist fit is extremely important.No holding or containment can take place until the patient feels safe.I am caring and compassionate and my patients feel contained and feel accepted and safe in the space.Many of them have been through severe trauma and pain and this very often is converted into bodily pain.I have helped several patients in their struggle with chronic pain.

I am a clinical psychologist working with adult individuals, couples and adolescents. I am primarily interested in our relationships and our sense of self in relation to others, oneself, the future and the world. We may sometimes find ourselves feeling lost and confused. I am interested in these human struggles and our attempts to find meaning in sometimes chaotic, uncertain contexts. Ultimately, we are searching for a sense of home and belonging, a place where we can just be ourselves. We may lack internal cohesion and search outside for answers. I offer a space for slowing down and for reflective action. Be there.

“ Therapy is a dress rehearsal to life”- Ivirn Yalom. Psychotherapy is therefore a great preparatory and supportive space to address whatever life challenges a person may face such as; personal, relationship/ marital difficulties, work related stressors, parenting issues, school related issues etc. Through psychotherapy we engage client in systematic and humanistic approaches to promote self-awareness, growth and interpersonal understanding. Our therapeutic point of departure is embedded in the fact that mental health difficulties are mostly relational.

Do you have an addiction or Addictions? Starting in 2024, the priority of this practice is the assessment and treatment of addictions. There are two categories of addiction. The first is addiction to drugs, such as alcohol, dagga, others. The second is behavioral addictions, such as shopping, gambling, sex, and others. The guiding treatment philosophy is that addictions are neurological disorders and not moral failings. Treatment is in hospital or as outpatients, and compliments treatment at Rehab centers.
