On the brink of a new permanent relationship and wondering: how do I make this work? Already married but struggling, or experiencing the trauma of divorce? Want to love again but now there are children to consider in the new marriage you are entering into? All of these big life experiences can be scary and exciting at the same time, and sometimes we need some guidance in them. Visit: my website relationtherapy.co.za.

Is your child struggling to regulate his/her emotions? Does your child get into trouble at school, get called lazy, inattentive, disruptive? Is your child not fulfilling his or her fullest potential -- academically, socially, emotionally?

My passion is people and how to help them overcome issues that are affecting their daily lives as well as develop themselves further. We all have issues ranging from minor ones to major setbacks and these can include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, internal turmoil, family or work issues and health problems to name but a few. We may have problems that stem from our childhood that we have never dealt with and these are now starting to affect our lives. Through counselling I aim to try and assist you in your pursuit of peace and find the ability to cope with what life throws your way.

Life is tough, sometimes very tough. Us, as human beings often forget to take care of the most basic of our needs in favor of immediate responsibilities and often put off the things that fuel us - when our fuel runs out, we are left with the wreckage and very little motivation to pick up those pieces. The healing journey offers a space to recuperate and learn to know and love ourselves again and to remember that sometimes its okay to not be okay. I journey with those who come see me, and noting is more beautiful and rewarding for to see someone transform their lives into something they have always wanted.

The therapy room seems to be one of the only remaining places where two people can sit together uninterrupted for 50 minutes. My practice offers an unconditional, non-judgemental containing space to women seeking the clarity to live with increased insight, personal power, and purpose. By supporting your personal growth and healing, I’ll help you steadily move towards a state of centeredness and equilibrium. I combine practical, solution-focused techniques with insight-oriented psychodynamic theory and a dash of eastern wisdom to help you find healthier perceptions of yourself.

Talk-therapy offers 50mins to just focus on yourself - something which, especially with the overwhelming nature of life- has become dearly important.

In practice, I work from an eclectic approach as I have found therapeutic flexibility to be helpful in meeting my patients’ needs. My therapeutic approach mainly draws initially from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Insight-Oriented and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). If need be, I will use other modalities.

Clients have different needs that they would seek assistance with from a competent professional. The client needs to be heard and their feelings validated. I provide a safe and confidential space for clients 14 years old and above to engage with me. My specialist Counselling knowledge and approach will put the client at ease and allow the therapy to take its course. I acknowledge that each individual requires different levels of support and based on that, I apply my technique of empathetic listening and appropriate counselling as required.

My practice focuses on adult individual therapy. I believe that human beings have an inherent need to connect with others. When these connections and ways in which we relate to others are challenged or compromised it can often lead to psychological pain. Psychological and emotional difficulties in turn may translate into mental health issues. Hence, the core of my therapeutic approach is to develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients where corrective experiences or new ways of relating can occur.
