Ms Danielle Krige

Occupational Therapist

“Neurodiversity, addiction and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) focused.”

About Me

I support individuals navigating the complexities of neurodiversity and addiction, helping them find practical ways forward. As an Occupational Therapist, I focus on building daily living skills. We can use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to develop concrete strategies for managing emotions and improving relationships. This approach is ideal for those seeking structured tools to enhance their independence and well-being in everyday life.

Approach

Practical, skill-focused steps shape how I guide sessions, bringing DBT tools into everyday routines while adjusting for neurodivergent processing and recovery needs. In Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions keep a steady, predictable pace with brief in-session practice, concrete goal-setting and sensory or executive supports tailored to you. Between meetings I set manageable home tasks and timed check-ins to embed new strategies into daily life and build emotion regulation. This hands-on, structured rhythm suits adults, couples and families seeking steady, practical progress.
