Marriage Counsellors & Couples Therapists in South Africa

I am a clinical psychologist with a psychodynamic orientation, guided by the belief that meaningful healing emerges when we explore the deeper layers of your inner world. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to understanding the unique story that shapes who you are.

In the last 35 years I have worked in a range of settings including parent-infant work, addiction, Hospice, and private practice. I currently do individual and couple psychotherapy. I also facilitate small groups working with loss/bereavement. My approach is broadly psychodynamic, incorporating mindfulness.

As a Psychologist (Counselling/Educational), I provide counselling, therapy, and psychological assessments for adults, adolescents, and children experiencing emotional, academic, or life-related challenges. My areas of focus include autism spectrum disorder, individual therapy, anxiety, depression, self-harm, trauma, dyslexia, ADHD and learning assessments, grief and loss, as well as family and couples therapy. I am based in Pretoria and also offer online sessions. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans.

I primarily work within a psychodynamic framework with a keen interest in interpersonal difficulties, bereavement, trauma, and father absenteeism.

I am a Clinical Psychologist practising in Parkview, Johannesburg. I offer psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and couples. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck in repeating patterns — in relationships, work, or within themselves. Some grapple with anxiety, depression, loss or a sense of emptiness, stuckness, or dread that’s hard to name.

The foundation of my counselling practices is approached through empowering, non-judgemental, and evidence-based frameworks to assist in optimal psychosocial growth. I am available to be your professional pillar of support in the process of courageously working through challenges and enhancing personal development.
