“ specialise in couples and relationship counselling, with a focus on marriage difficulties, infidelity and betrayal, separation, divorce and blended families. I help couples improve communication, trust, gain clarity and find a way forward. I offer sessions in both English and Afrikaans.”

About Me

My ideal clients are couples and individuals experiencing marriage difficulties, relationship breakdown, infidelity and betrayal, separation or divorce, and blended-family challenges. They may be struggling with communication, trust, conflict or uncertainty about what comes next. I provide a safe, practical and non-judgmental space to understand the issues, communicate more effectively, and find a way forward. I am South African and have lived and worked in the Middle East, USA and South Africa, giving me a broad multicultural perspective. "..

Approach

For couples, I integrate principles from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based therapy, and family systems theory to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and resolve recurring patterns of conflict. . For clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the counselling process, faith-based counselling is available. "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit" Ps 34:18
