About Me

I offer a thoughtful space for parents, adolescents, couples, and adults ready to explore their inner world. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I help you understand how past experiences influence present patterns. We can work together to make sense of complex emotions and find new ways forward. Convenient online consultations are available to suit your needs.

Approach

You’ll find sessions that balance careful listening with gentle challenge, allowing patterns to emerge and be renamed. In Cape Town or via English-language online sessions, I keep steady rhythms—regular weekly meetings, occasional focused check-ins—to preserve continuity and safety. Work often turns on noticing small moments—silences, tensions, repeated choices—and linking them to life events so reactions loosen and new options appear. People navigating loss, anxiety, life transitions or relationship strain tend to find this steady, reflective way of working helpful.
