Verified

“I have extensive experience in working with all types of psychological problems. Head of Psychology at Fort England Psychiatric Hospital for 17 years. Clinical Associate Rhodes University. I focus on individual psychotherapy as well medico-legal assessment.”

About Me

I offer individual psychotherapy, supporting a wide range of psychological challenges. My extensive experience includes 17 years as Head of Psychology at Fort England Psychiatric Hospital. This background means I deeply understand complex mental health needs. I provide a focused, one-to-one space where we can explore your concerns. My approach suits those seeking comprehensive, expert support to find a way forward.

Approach

That clinical breadth shapes how I structure sessions: practical, focused and paced to suit each person. I consult from Port Elizabeth and online, in English or Afrikaans, creating a contained space where careful assessment and reflective dialogue sit side by side. Work typically moves between focused conversation, measured neuro‑psychological thinking and practical strategies, with short tasks or notes between meetings when helpful—especially where mood, anxiety, brain injury or medico‑legal clarity matter. Those seeking steady, expert support to make clear, manageable changes tend to find this helpful.
