About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst, I offer a space to deeply explore your inner world. We can work together to understand long-standing patterns or current challenges. I provide psychoanalytic services across short, medium, or long terms. Sessions are tailored to your unique pace. This flexible approach suits those seeking profound self-understanding and lasting change. It helps make sense of distress, fostering a clearer path forward.

Approach

Flexibility shapes how we work: we agree on pacing and length so the process fits your current needs and longer-term aims. In sessions in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, I listen for patterns around transitions and adoption, reflecting connections between past and present while keeping focus practical and emotionally attuned. Between sessions I may suggest gentle observations to carry with you, helping ideas settle. This approach suits adults facing change who want thoughtful, sustained understanding and direction.
