About Me

I help individuals explore how past experiences shape present feelings. Through a psychodynamic approach, we work together to uncover patterns, and foster lasting understanding. I also offer clinical hypnosis, a focused technique providing symptom relief and to process deeper issues It can help you gain new perspectives or address specific concerns. This approach suits those seeking deeper self-discovery and new ways to navigate life’s complexities.

Approach

Qualified in 1985, my work blends psychodynamic listening with clinical hypnosis to move from insight toward practical change. Sessions in Cape Town or online are paced to your rhythm, offered in English or Afrikaans, and combine reflective exploration with hypnotherapy. We attend to recurring feelings, use dream material to illuminate unconscious patterns, and set small, measurable steps between meetings to reduce anxiety, trauma reactions, chronic pain or grief. This way of working fits those seeking deep understanding alongside symptom relief.
