About Me
I offer a space where we explore how your unique experiences are shaped. We acknowledge the profound impact of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity on your well-being. As an experienced Counseling psychologist, I work from an intersectional feminist stance. This approach helps us unpack complex layers. Clients seeking to sensitively address these influences will find a truly collaborative space.
Approach
Holding an intersectional lens, I attend to how identities and systemic forces shape your feelings, choices and relationships, then gently map patterns into practical steps. Sessions in Pretoria or online, in English, move at a paced, collaborative tempo — we name triggers, practise grounding and experiment with new relational habits between sessions. Trauma-informed attention and mindful skills guide the work so safety and curiosity sit together. People navigating identity, intimacy or transition often find this focused, context-aware way of working helpful.
