“I am a compassionate therapist with a wealth of experience, join me on the journey toward living a more fulfilling life.”

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist practising in Rosebank, Cape Town, I offer therapy online and in person to adults. In my practise I offer a warm, respectful space to assist you in processing, bearing, and making meaning of difficult experiences. I tend to work intuitively tailoring the therapy I offer to the unique needs the person presents, adapting and changing as needs change. Over the years I have found that while people come to therapy for many different reasons—for insight, guidance, to process grief, or to gain the tools to manage anxiety and depression to name a few—therapy often offers the tools to live a richer life.

Approach

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” ― Ben Okri I feel, that as human beings we all suffer, we carry unique wounds that we must bear. The therapy I offer facilitates a path towards finding healing, resonance and connection with self. Through the exploration of memories, dreams, thoughts, feelings and internal and external conflicts, the therapeutic relationship offers, containment, insight, and healing reflections. My approach blends focused, compassionate listening, gentle containment of difficult feelings and analytic reflections about dreams and childhood memories. “In the end we will only be transformed when we can recognise and accept the fact that there is a will within each of us, quite outside the range of conscious control, a will which knows what is right for us, which is repeatedly reporting to us via our bodies, emotions, and dreams, and is incessantly encouraging our healing and wholeness.” ― James Hollis
