About Me

As a Registered Social Worker, I am an experienced therapist with a true passion for people. I offer virtual Counseling, connecting with you online from anywhere. This flexible approach makes support accessible and convenient, fitting easily into your busy life. I aim to create a safe, understanding space where you can feel truly heard. We can work together to explore challenges and build on your strengths for meaningful change.

Approach

In sessions I blend compassionate listening with practical planning, helping you move from feeling overwhelmed to clearer choices. Whether we meet online from Pretoria or use Afrikaans or English, I keep sessions paced, focused and collaborative—short check-ins, deeper exploration, and actionable steps between meetings. We track stress, retirement transitions and self-care routines with simple tools, pause to process trauma safely, and tailor strategies to your daily life so change feels manageable. This approach often suits adults juggling work and life who want grounded, practical support.
