About Me

I offer a grounded space for lasting well-being. With over 30 years in practice, I integrate Counseling psychology, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. Clients seeking inner calm and resilience find my holistic style helpful. We can explore deep-seated patterns and build practical strategies together. My work, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, supports those ready to manage daily pressures effectively. Based at Christiaan Barnard Hospital, I provide a consistent, supportive environment.

Approach

To build lasting well-being, I guide sessions that balance calm presence with practical, paced steps toward change. Based in Cape Town I offer appointments at Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital and online in English, with options for individual, group and organisational work. Sessions mix focused attention, gentle guided relaxation and short between-session experiments so you can notice stress patterns, rehearse new responses and track small shifts. People facing burnout or seeking steady personal growth tend to find this pace and structure helpful.
