About Me
I offer psychodynamic therapy, creating a thoughtful, compassionate space. Here, we can explore the deeper patterns influencing your life. This approach helps you understand long-standing feelings and behaviours, fostering meaningful change. If you seek a safe space to reflect on experiences and gain self-awareness, this approach may suit you. I provide a steady presence as you uncover insights at your own pace.
Approach
Working psychodynamically, I pay attention to the small, often overlooked moments—silences, repeated reactions, and the feelings that surface between sessions—to help you trace how earlier experiences shape current difficulties. Sessions in English are offered from Johannesburg or online, paced to your comfort with a steady, reflective rhythm that balances close listening, occasional gentle interpretation and collaborative planning for what to try between meetings. This way of working suits people seeking thoughtful self-understanding and practical shifts in relationships, mood or grief.
