About Me

I help children, adolescents, and adults find relief from anxiety and depression, fostering a clearer self-understanding. My practice focuses on guiding individuals to recognise their unique strengths and navigate emotional challenges. For those needing specific insights, I offer psychoeducational assessments. These provide valuable clarity, directly informing the type of support needed. My goal is to equip you with tools to better comprehend your experiences and build lasting emotional well-being.

Approach

Sessions move at a practical, steady pace, balancing gentle curiosity with clear goals so you and I can untangle worries and mood shifts. In my Johannesburg practice and online, in English, I blend play and reflective conversation with assessment-informed feedback to shape what we try between meetings. Therapy feels collaborative, with short experiments or observations to try at home and focused review each week to track what helps. People navigating anxiety, low mood or learning concerns often find this way of working reassuring and useful.
