About Me

As a Registered Counsellor, I focus on supporting individuals navigating trauma and its related difficulties. These past experiences often ripple into daily life, manifesting as anxiety or other mental health challenges. I help clients explore and gently process what they're feeling. Our sessions offer a calm, understanding space where you can explore without judgment. Together, we work towards finding stability and practical ways forward.

Approach

You can expect sessions that move at a steady, respectful pace, where we gently name reactions and make sense of how past events show up now. I work with people in Cape Town and online, offering conversations in English or Afrikaans that feel practical and calm. In session we try manageable steps — grounding, emotion naming, and gentle memory work — and I support small homework between meetings so you feel safer day to day. This way of working often helps adolescents, adults and parents who want clear, compassionate support.
