Therapy Practice

“Private registered clinical psychologist based in Robindale/Ferndale in Randburg. I work with adolescents and adults. I am passionate about working with adolesents.”

About Us

Based in Robindale/Ferndale, I am a clinical psychologist working with adolescents and adults. I am particularly passionate about guiding young people as they navigate developmental changes and emotional complexities. We can explore feelings and discover practical ways forward together in a supportive space. My aim is to create a setting where both teens and adults feel truly heard and understood. This dedicated focus makes me a good match for those seeking genuine support during challenging times.

Approach

From our Robindale/Ferndale practice we focus on practical, steady steps that help young people and adults make sense of feelings and restore daily functioning. Sessions are paced to suit each person: assessment when clarity is needed, space for grief or trauma to be named, and short, homework-like tasks or psychoeducation between meetings to build skills. We listen, reflect and co-plan interventions with parents or caregivers where helpful, always aiming for manageable change. This approach tends to suit those seeking clear, compassionate structure during difficult transitions.
