About Me
I offer a supportive space to navigate life's most challenging moments. As an experienced clinical social worker and Logotherapist, I help you find meaning and direction. We can explore what truly matters when facing loss, trauma, or significant transitions. This approach is for those seeking to understand their experiences deeply. My aim is to help you build resilience and find renewed purpose, even in difficult times.
Approach
When life feels unmoored by grief or sudden change, my sessions focus on small, practical steps that help you clarify values and ease overwhelm. I meet people in Cape Town and online, in Afrikaans or English, and we keep a calm, predictable rhythm—brief check‑ins, deeper exploration, and pragmatic tasks between meetings. Gentle assessment and tracking guide the pace, balancing safety with meaning‑focused questions so painful memories can be contained while new choices emerge. This approach tends to help adults, couples and families seeking steady, empathetic guidance.
