Therapists in Johannesburg
Are you facing overwhelming circumstances in your life and need someone to talk to? Sometimes we find ourselves in situations cause us deep pain and we need someone to help us make sense of it all. These situations can lead to mental illness and crises of faith. There is no shame in seeking help in times like these. Sometimes all we need is a safe space to figure it all out.

The Individuals that feel as though no-one will understand or who have been told time and time again that they are the ones at fault, either in their relationships or at work. The individuals who feel alone and who cannot speak out due to hidden manipulation and control within a home or who are insidiously abused within a relationship. The individuals who feel that they are the ones who have destroyed their families lives, the individuals who want a safe space, a listening ear and supportive dialogue. The individual who wants clarity of mind, effective coping mechanisms and understanding, these are the individuals I counsel.

I strive to help anyone and everyone who are finding the challenges they face daily, a bit overwhelming. Support goes a long way to overcoming challenges and by creating a collaborative approach and basing the therapeutic process towards solution building and creating a hope filled future, perspectives can be shifted and goals set.
