“An experienced counsellor working predominantly with adolescents and children within a holistic framework”

About Me

An experienced counsellor working predominantly with adolescents and children within a holistic framework. I support young people as they navigate life's challenges. My approach helps them understand how different aspects of their world connect. We consider their whole experience, not just isolated issues, creating a safe, welcoming space. This comprehensive view helps young clients build stronger coping skills and a clearer sense of self. It fosters lasting well-being.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, youth-friendly pace, balancing talk, creative activities and guided reflection so young people can see how school, family and body connect. I offer in-person sessions in Cape Town and secure online appointments in English, keeping logistics clear and predictable for families. Together we set small, achievable steps—practical coping skills, routine adjustments and clearer family communication—checked between meetings and gently adapted to each adolescent’s rhythm. This approach suits young people and families seeking steady, practical support that builds confidence over time.
