One always assumes that counselling is for those who are facing hardships. I believe that it is so much more than that. It’s about sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly in a safe and confidential space. I hope to be that lifeline and source of motivation for you, no matter what the circumstances. I am registered with the HPCSA as a Registered Counsellor and with BAPSA as an addiction professional.

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.

At a young age I began to discern my high levels of empathy for those in pain & this I believe in part is because of my own story of brokenness. People tended to open up to me quite easily about their personal stories. My whole heart gravitated towards the helping profession specifically within the spaces of healing, empowering , inspiring & teaching. I unequivocally know that my life's work is to help others to become products of their purpose and not their pain.To flourish in the areas of emotion, relationships, meaning, accomplishment and engagement. ( Martin Seligman). To thrive and not merely survive.

Hi. I have been in practice for 33 years and continue to be passionate about what I do. I work with high functioning adults using a form of Psychotherapy which I have developed called Therapeutic Coaching. I am interactive in my approach whilst having been trained as a Depth Psychologist. What this means is that I am trained to identify my clients' underlying issues, childhood traumas, depression, anxiety etc. but work in a very interactive way in dealing with these. I work with individuals as well as with couples and have a reputation for working successfully with challenging couples who are in crisis.

I work with couples and individuals. Couple work often begins with addressing conflict: how communication isn't working and causing the couple distress. In individual work, themes of identity (a mismatch between how you feel and how you want to be perceived by others), relational issues (friction between people) and life transitions (adjusting to significant change) are often the focus. When counsellor and client "click" the client has the opportunity to understand why they think certain things or behave in certain ways. This offers the possibility of positively shifting their relationship patterns.

At times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed. We may know what is causing unease or pain, but often we struggle to understand the cause. A therapy relationship at these times, can bring better understanding and help you think in new ways about yourself, your relationships and your journey forward.

My passion for “helping others” began at a very young age. Since then, I have equipped myself with the knowledge and the skill set needed to journey with others. My role is to come along side you, and assist where I can, so your life journey can be lighter with each step that you take. My approach is to holistically understand the individual, each intervention is specifically designed for you, so that your therapeutic needs are consistently met.

I have worked with people for 25 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.
