As an HPCSA- registered Drama Therapist I facilitate a non-judgmental and confidential space where equal attention is given to the body, heart, mind and soul. Arts processes such as images and stories give shape and form to things that are difficult to talk about or to discover new insight in old patterns. Our work is about looking at all the parts that make up the Self, both the healthy ones and the hurting ones. By making space and engaging with these parts we get to better understand ourselves and connect with who we truly are. Arts activities are invited sensitively and when it feels appropriate – no awkward role-plays!

As a Neuropsychologist, my role is to determine the extent to which neurological (e.g., neurodegenerative, strokes, traumatic brain injuries etc) or psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety) impact cognition, behaviour or emotional functioning. This enables patients to understand how their conditions are impacting their daily functioning (work, school, social). My goal is to guide treatment, or provide neuro-rehabilitation services (psychotherapy) to help patients work with their strengths to achieve optimal daily functioning.

Mutual respect is one of the qualities I regard as an important element of the therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with adults (men and woman) from any cultural background. Languages I am proficient in includes Afrikaans and English. We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

There are times in life when we feel stuck and there seems to be no way forward. You might struggle to concentrate, feel anxious and stressed all the time, lie awake at night, and get angry for no apparent reason. You might also experiences more severe symptoms like phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, self harm, eating disorders etc. The reason might not be apparent, but sometimes it might relate back to unresolved traumatic experiences you've had growing up like bullying, sexual abuse or rape, family violence, sibling rivalry, parents divorce, death of a loved one.

It's the relationship that heals. That's the basis of more or less all therapy, it's certainly the starting place. There are many different reasons you might choose to work with a therapist. You might be feeling stuck, lost, frustrated with yourself, or something unexpected may have thrown you, or maybe your partner is nagging you to get help. Whatever the reason, and whether you have been to a therapist before or not, picking a therapist and going through the first few sessions can be a daunting process. I can’t guarantee that I’m the right therapist for you, but I would be honoured to journey with you.
