About Me

As an experienced Counseling Psychologist, I understand how common challenges like depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties can impact lives. I work with individuals across various age categories, helping them navigate stress and bereavement. Using approaches like BWRT, I aim to provide practical ways to find clarity and move forward. This offers a supportive space to address what feels overwhelming, helping you develop lasting coping skills.

Approach

When we meet, I blend focused, short‑paced interventions with reflective conversation so we can gently interrupt what feels stuck and find clearer options. I see clients in Gqeberha and work in English, holding structured sessions that balance present‑focused techniques and deeper processing. Sessions often include guided exercises, BWRT elements and practical between‑session steps, with regular check‑ins so you feel steady as change unfolds. This way of working suits adolescents, adults and couples looking for practical, collaborative progress through grief, stress or relationship strain.
