“Clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist”

About Me

As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I offer a reflective space for deep self-exploration. I help individuals understand long-held patterns, making sense of how past experiences influence their present. This approach is well-suited for those seeking profound insight into their emotional lives. Our sessions gently uncover underlying dynamics, fostering clarity and lasting change. I provide a calm, thoughtful environment for this important work.

Approach

Therapy unfolds through careful, curious attention to moments when familiar thoughts and feelings emerge, helping you name them and try different responses. I work with adults in Cape Town and online, offering sessions in English or Afrikaans that balance quiet reflection with focused questions to illuminate patterns. Sessions move at your pace: we explore memories, track how you react now, and I may suggest brief reflections between meetings to deepen understanding. This steady, thoughtful way of working tends to suit those seeking lasting clarity.
