A very experienced, compassionate clinical psychologist, predominately working with tweens, adolescents and adults. I offer online therapy

About Me

As an experienced and compassionate clinical psychologist, I help tweens, adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges. I create a supportive online space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My approach is tailored to your unique journey, offering practical ways to understand yourself and foster resilience. Online sessions provide flexible, comfortable access to support, wherever you are.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, practical pace, blending thoughtful listening with concrete skills-building that suits tweens, adolescents and adults. Based in Johannesburg, I offer secure online sessions in English or Afrikaans to fit school, work and family rhythms. We use focused interventions, mindfulness exercises and clinical assessment when helpful, with short between-session steps to practise new responses and build coping habits. This collaborative, structured approach tends to help individuals and families seeking clear, compassionate support through anxiety, trauma or relationship strain.
