What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflect my life and work philosophy. The goal of my approach is the long-term alleviation of distress & suffering. Immediately after a session clients will often feel hopeful and their mood lifts. Thereafter they return to the same home or work environment which maintains the stress and they may feel exactly the same. CBT and DBT provide strategies for longer term relief and successful management of difficulties. Together we will focus on adjusting thoughts, working through difficult emotions, and changing self-defeating behaviours.

Every day brings both joy and challenges. At times the challenges can prove overwhelming and make life hard to bear. So instead of flourishing, one can feel that it's just another day of the same hard thing. Yet the possibility to flourish still exists.

I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey back home to yourself. I accompany people as they deal with life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, identity crises, suicide, burnout and trauma, from age 13 and up. To heal is to make whole again. It is calling back all the parts of ourselves that have been lost and exiled, tending to the old wounds, and coming alive to what we have inside of us. It is discovering all of who we are, and finding meaning in all of who we are.

Hello there! I'm a warm, engaging ELDER who goes the extra mile : I get involved, I make myself available, I share my thinking, and I don't clock-watch. After 48 years in practice - and the telling experiences of an eventful life - I'm likely to be familiar with your predicament. It's reassuring to be treated by an independent-minded therapist who has personally encountered both sides of the professional fence. My acquaintance with trauma attests to the real possibility of overcoming adversity. Finding a resourceful ALLY makes you feel SAFE. And practical problem solving is key.

I work with adults only and in my experience, it seems many of us present with elements of ‘dysfunction’; that it is the human condition to be somewhat flawed, imperfect, damaged or messed-up. Our ‘dysfunction’ can often be exposed (to ourselves and others) at points of challenge or change; what I refer to as ‘growing pains’ (this is not reserved for childhood; us adults can also undergo mild, moderate and sever growing pains)

Creating a space where clients can explore their authentic selves is paramount in the therapeutic process. This requires forming a human connection with the client whilst maintaining the therapeutic relationship. As human beings we strive to form an understanding of ourselves, others and the world - this fosters connection, awareness and acceptance, all of which play a fundamental role in the healing process.

If you are seeking a Counsellor, then you may be feeling anxious and overwhelmed by your life circumstances. A crisis can threaten your emotional or physical well-being and can interfere with the functioning of your daily living. Events such as unplanned pregnancies, relationship breakdowns, illnesses such as COVID and other traumatic and life-threatening experiences can all be navigated and strategic interventions implemented. Putting a voice to your feelings often puts thoughts and emotions into perspective and is the start of healing an overwhelmed spirit.

The pain of continued relational conflict, that just never seems to be resolved can eat at your soul, leaving you feeling alone and exhausted. The desire to have your partner know your pain and see your hurt is what you long for. Whether the pain has been caused by them, or whether you suffer from the pain of abuse at the hands of caregivers or others in your childhood, you want someone to know and understand what you are going through. You want the pain to stop and become free and whole. Sometimes you just wish you could run away.

As a counselling psychologist my focus is on short and long term therapeutic interventions with adolescents and adults. Over the past twenty years, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings within South Africa and Canada. Through these experiences, I have developed special interests that include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress management, adjustment issues, interpersonal difficulties and low self esteem.

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

Providing a Holistic Counselling Approach that Improves Client’s Overall Wellbeing and Health. The road to happiness and wellness can be challenging for individuals who may have experienced traumatic events, self-esteem issues, health problems, or other negative life experiences. In many instances, when a client seeks the help, they are struggling with the lasting effects and consequences of a deeply seated issue. Sometimes the root issues can be hard for the client to identify on their own because they will often show up as physical pain, spiritual challenges, or other behavioral issues that seem unrelated to the root cause.
