About Me

I'm Bianca, and I'm glad you're here. As a Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals of all ages navigate various psychological difficulties. My special interest lies in trauma and nervous system regulation. I strive to create a truly safe, supportive space. You’ll find my approach human and relatable, not a blank slate. This means we can genuinely connect. We'll explore challenges and find practical ways to build resilience together.

Approach

I treat your experience as the map — gentle curiosity and practical steps guide how we tune both thinking and body responses so you feel steadier. From my Durban North office or online in English, sessions move at your pace, mixing quiet reflection with short, somatic exercises and brief, goal-focused experiments. Playful tasks and reflective notes between sessions help clarify patterns; I offer clear observations and simple practices you can use day to day. This way of working tends to suit people seeking relatable, down-to-earth collaboration.
