About Me
If you are seeking to understand the deeper roots of your difficulties, I offer psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We can explore long-standing patterns and unconscious influences that shape your experiences. This in-depth work helps you gain profound insight, fostering lasting change and greater personal freedom. It is a good match for individuals ready to commit to understanding themselves more fully.
Approach
Offering deep, reflective psychoanalytic work, I create a steady, contained space where talk unfolds at your pace and themes are followed closely. In my Cape Town consulting room, in English, sessions move between open exploration and moments of focused interpretation, attending to feelings, images and patterns that surface. Between sessions you may be invited to notice recurring thoughts and relationships to bring back into the room so we can track shifts over time. This approach suits people prepared for sustained inward work and lasting insight.
