About Me

I help individuals and couples navigate deeply rooted emotional challenges, from trauma and grieving to relationship dynamics. Using Ego State Therapy, I guide you to understand different parts of yourself, fostering inner harmony. This approach is particularly valuable for those seeking clarity in complex situations. It also helps shift persistent habits like smoking. My educational background supports learning new coping strategies for lasting change.

Approach

Sessions move between careful parts-based exploration, brief skill-building and focused trance work so you can sense shifts rather than just talk about them. In Alberton or online, in English or Afrikaans, we set a steady pace—sometimes slow and reflective, sometimes practical and action-focused—and I check in to match your readiness. Between meetings you’ll try small experiments or grounding practices and we use feedback from sessions to refine what helps most. People seeking clarity around loss, habits or relationship patterns often find this collaborative rhythm helpful.
