“An experienced psychologist and social worker in private practice.”

About Me

As an experienced Counseling Psychologist (MA) and social worker, I offer a grounded, supportive space. I help individuals navigate life's complexities, blending psychological insight with practical ways to cope. We can explore your concerns together, moving at your pace. This helps us understand challenges and find meaningful steps forward. My aim is to create a secure environment where you feel truly heard.

Approach

Rather than promising quick fixes, therapy here unfolds as a steady, collaborative process that names patterns, explores feelings and introduces practical coping steps. Sessions take place in Sandton or online in English, and feel conversational yet focused, whether with children, adolescents, adults or couples. We use gentle assessment, reflective conversation, age‑appropriate activities and targeted tasks to try between meetings, all paced to your comfort. This way of working tends to help people facing transitions, anxiety, grief or relationship strains who want grounded, practical support.
