About Me

I help people navigate the challenges of mood shifts, past trauma, and persistent anxiety or substance abuse. When these issues feel overwhelming, finding clarity can be difficult. We explore your experiences together, making sense of patterns and developing practical ways forward. My aim is to offer a grounded, collaborative space. This support is for anyone seeking to build lasting stability and well-being.

Approach

When mood shifts, old wounds and ongoing anxiety feel overpowering, my work emphasizes paced, practical exploration that helps you regain a sense of control. I see adults and older clients in Margate or online, offering sessions in English and Afrikaans that move at a steady, manageable pace and attend closely to safety and ethics. Sessions blend careful assessment, trauma-focused reflection and concrete between-session tasks to test new responses and measure change. This way of working often suits people wanting clear, steady support toward lasting stability.
