About Me

As a clinical psychologist, I provide psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapy. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking lasting personal growth. We explore how past experiences and relationships shape present challenges, fostering deeper self-understanding. This allows you to make sense of recurring patterns and find new ways forward. My approach suits those ready to gain insight into their inner world and improve their connections.

Approach

Therapy here moves at a thoughtful, exploratory pace, attending to feelings and relationship echoes that show up in daily life and in the consulting room. Sessions in Randburg are conducted in English, face-to-face, with space for reflection, gentle challenge and practical experiment between meetings when helpful. I track emotional themes alongside current stresses—life transitions, loss, anxiety or relationship strains—to help you notice choices you haven’t seen before and try new responses. This way of working often suits people ready for steady insight and clearer connection with themselves and others.
