“I am a doctoral level psychotherapist with many years experience and a singular dedication to my craft”

About Me

I am a doctoral level psychotherapist with many years of dedicated experience. I aim to create a space where you can feel truly heard, helping you explore complex challenges. Our sessions offer thoughtful, tailored support, fostering insights and practical ways forward. This approach suits individuals seeking a deeply considered and compassionate journey. We will work together to understand your unique experience.

Approach

Calm, focused attention frames how I accompany you through difficult decisions and shifting moods, using clear pacing and collaborative reflection to make sense of what matters most. Sessions are held in English from Cape Town or via secure online meetings, with time divided between careful listening, targeted clinical thinking and practical steps you can try between appointments. I use structured reflection, brief skills practice and periodic review to track change and adjust the plan. This way of working tends to suit people facing anxiety, low mood or relationship strain.
