About Us
As an ISTDP psychotherapist in Cape Town, I offer a focused, active approach to emotional healing. This Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is relatively new to South Africa, providing a fresh path. I help clients uncover and resolve deep-seated emotional patterns efficiently. If you seek lasting change and are ready for a direct, collaborative process, this could be a good fit.
Approach
In Cape Town, where this active short-term approach is just becoming known, we work in focused, time-sensitive sessions that move quickly to the emotions and patterns that keep you stuck. Sessions are direct and collaborative: we track defenses, invite felt experience, clarify impulses and test new ways of relating in the room and between meetings. Assessments inform pacing so you get targeted, practical interventions rather than open-ended exploration. People seeking efficient, deep change tend to find this way of working helpful.
