About Me
I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst in Tamboerskloof, Western Cape, South Africa. I offer psychoanalysis for adults dealing with abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, LGBTQI+ concerns, and adoption-related issues.
Approach
I work through attentive, exploratory dialogue that prioritises safety and attention to hidden patterns. Sessions—in English or Afrikaans, in Tamboerskloof or online—are paced to allow reflection, free association and careful listening. I use psychoanalytic listening and periodic psychodiagnostic assessment to help track recurring feelings tied to abuse, shame, adoption and LGBTQI+ identity, and to notice shifts between sessions. Adults and couples seeking deeper understanding and steadier self-regard often find this pace helpful.
