Female Psychologists in Cape Town

A Cape Town based clinical psychologist offering holistic, person-centred psychotherapy for adults. I hope to cultivate a therapeutic space where every client can authentically embrace themselves and embark on a journey towards their therapeutic goals with thoughtfulness and compassion for self.

I have been in practice for many years and offer a warm, intelligent and relaxed space. I am especially interested in working with couples. Although I prefer having conversations face-to-face, I do also work online.

My aim: To assist in identifying the root cause of emotional and behavioural concerns and to guide my patients in making lasting changes.

I am a compassionate and ethical therapist who aims to provide a safe and confidential space for clients to express themselves freely.

As a Clinical Psychologist, my passion is to come alongside you on your journey towards healing and increased self-awareness. Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues you are grappling with. I am here to listen and support you. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults with a wide variety of life challenges.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of techniques tailored to your unique needs, and circumstances. I firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing, which is why I collaborate closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan.

I have practices in Stellenbosch and Cape Town (Gardens) and work from a psychodynamic perspective. The aim of therapy is to explore the root cause of symptoms and to work through unconscious conflicts within the context of the therapeutic relationship. Healing is facilitated through interpretation and self-insight.
