Counsellors in Cape Town

A warm, empathic, online-based Wellness Counsellor specializing in ADHD, emotional well-being, and personal growth. I have experience in supporting adults, adolescents, and couples through trauma, addiction, self-esteem struggles, and relationship challenges.

I believe that when we practice compassion, we can support the people around us. Compassion takes empathy one step further because it harbors a desire for all people to be free from suffering, and it's imbued with a desire to help. This means that, within the counselling space, I will approach you with openness and understanding. This will allow for the exploration of your personal experiences and the creation of a non-judgmental, relatable environment, filled with acceptance and empathy. In this space you will be acknowledged, and recognize that you deserve to be seen, heard and cared for within a safe space. My qualifications and experiences listed have sharpened my innate capacities to manage and observe behaviours, feelings and thoughts. These abilities aid me to create a constructive, capacity-building counselling space using various counselling techniques, creatively formulate interventions and last but not least, build awareness within the field of psychology.

I provide counselling by working in collaboration with you, in an non-judgemental, emphatic space to deal with your current needs.

I am a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with the ASCHP, working primarily with teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centred. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and accepted without judgement. Rather than focusing on simply reducing symptoms, I work alongside clients to better understand themselves, develop emotional resilience, strengthen self-worth, and build practical coping strategies that support lasting wellbeing. I offer online counselling because I believe support should adapt to the individual, not the other way around. Being able to engage from the comfort of your own environment often reduces the pressure that can come with traditional therapy and allows for more authentic, meaningful conversations. My goal is to create a space that feels calm, human, and approachable, where clients can show up exactly as they are, explore their experiences at their own pace, and leave with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
