My therapy practice is a containing, curious, creative space for those who are seeking to understand and welcome all the parts of themselves. We often get stuck in patterns and set narratives, and struggle to imagine anything different – for ourselves or our relationships. I cannot provide solutions, but in a confidential and safe therapy relationship, I can walk alongside you as we try to understand your hurt, your health and your healing. I am passionate about working with women and those who are navigating life transitions, loss and shifting intergenerational patterns. My approach is humanistic, trauma-informed, & psychodynamic.

As a counselor, I value the beautifully unique qualities that define you. If you've ever felt disconnected from your true self or misunderstood by others, counseling offers a path to rekindle that connection. It's about fostering a deeper relationship with yourself, embracing all aspects of your identity. Additionally, counseling helps you discover fulfilling ways to engage with your surroundings and the people in your life. My mission is to empower individuals and couples to rediscover their strength, resilience, and potential for positive change.

My philosophy is that all of us have the necessary abilities to overcome any challenges in life with the right support. I offer an integrative approach to counselling that draws on Gestalt, existential and cognitive theories. I view counselling as a creative process of discovering the masterpiece in each client. I work within an interpersonal framework that places the relationship between the client and the therapist at the heart of the process.

We all have habitual ways of responding to what happens in our lives. These patterns were often shaped by our experiences; both more recent events and those we experienced in childhood. We learn to survive. At times our old ways of coping become less functional as our lives and circumstances change and it becomes necessary pause and re-evaluate. Often this is a point where someone feels very stuck or overwhelmed and they need the support of a therapist. Let me help you connect, grow and heal.

Have you been feeling stuck? Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed and exhausted? Sometimes we don't even know what we are feeling at all. People start counselling for various reasons, all of which are completely valid. These could range from anything between unpacking and healing childhood trauma, to maintaining healthy habits and reaching personal goals. Some of us need a little more support to manage the symptoms of mental health disorders, while others want to develop better boundaries or improve relationships.

Emma-Louise is a Clinical Neuropsychologist based in the Cape Town's southern suburbs. People usually consult a neuropsychologist because they have a known brain injury (e.g. traumatic or stroke), disease process (e.g. dementia), or because they feel that there has been a change in their cognition or behaviour and they suspect there may be an organic cause (of which there are many). Emma-Louise works with clients to understand the changes in their brain and importantly, to find ways to continue to live meaningfully with them.
