About Me

I am a registered Counseling Psychologist in Goodwood, Cape Town, dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and their families. When life presents difficulties, transitions, or adjustments, I guide clients through these changes. My approach with younger clients involves a collaborative working relationship with parents, ensuring progress continues at home. This partnership helps families navigate challenges together, fostering resilience and understanding.

Approach

When families face transitions or grief, I focus on creating a steady, practical space where parents and young people feel heard and involved. In Goodwood and online, in English or isiZulu, sessions move between short skill-focused tasks and deeper reflection, paced to each person’s readiness. I blend focused cognitive and relational work with gentle body-oriented approaches so anxious thoughts settle and loss can be processed, with small, achievable steps to practise between meetings. This way of working suits families and teens seeking clear tools alongside compassionate exploration.
