About Me

Drawing on extensive experience, I offer a compassionate space for your unique journey to well-being. My tailored approach integrates powerful, evidence-based therapies like CBT.

This personalised support is ideal for individuals ready to build lasting change.

Approach

You’ll find our work paced and practical, moving from clearer understanding of patterns to noticing small, testable changes that feel doable each week. I see clients in Klerksdorp (English and Afrikaans) and online, offering flexible session spacing to fit adolescents through older adults. Sessions blend calm, focused skill-building with brief experiential exercises and agreed between-session tasks to support memory, mood regulation, attention and eating habits. This way of working suits people who want steady, measurable shifts and practical tools for everyday life.
