Psychologist (Clinical),
Central, Stellenbosch.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families, offering a safe space to work with emotions and gain a deeper understanding about what motivates behaviour to help deepen emotional connection, change undesirable behaviours and improve awareness. Services range from managing everyday life stresses to treating severe mental health challenges.
MY FEES:
CORE SERVICES:
My focus is on working with clients in a way that best suits their unique needs. I follow an integrated approach with a developmental perspective. I work on the cognitive (thoughts), affective (feelings), behavioral and physiological levels in terms of determining whether the objective of therapy is to alter self-defeating thought patterns and beliefs, or work with emotions to gain a deeper understanding (insight-based) about what motivates behavior, or whether to alter problem behaviors and improve body awareness.
Therapy is not just a matter of correcting dysfunctional thought patterns, problem behaviors and fostering emotional well-being. I encourage clients to learn about reality, human nature, how things really are. Learning more about the world proper and about motivation improves insight and self-understanding. I help clients live more effectively by incorporating life lessons and principles that will make living life more meaningful. I encourage clients to accumulate this knowledge and wisdom.
