About Me

I provide a contained, understanding space for you to collaboratively explore your unique story. My approach fosters forward movement, helping you connect with your own humanity. I believe in genuine human connection, bringing sensitivity and a touch of humour to our work. This makes me a good match for those seeking practical ways to navigate life's challenges.

Approach

I attend to what matters most, keeping sessions contained, humane and gently purposeful so your story can be examined without rush. I work with people in Cape Town and online in English, using steady pacing, clear check-ins and brief between-session tasks when helpful. Sessions mix careful listening, narrative exploration and practical experiments—sometimes with targeted assessments—to surface patterns, reframe relationships and try new ways of managing anxiety, mood or traumatic memories. Those wanting honest collaboration, calm structure and room for a little humour often find this way of working fits.
