“You might be struggling, feeling low, or simply looking for someone to talk to. I offer general counselling for any issues. ”

About Me

I am a professionally registered counsellor and therapist in private practice, working online internationally and in person in Pringle Bay in the Overstrand, near Cape Town. I studied medicine (MBChB) before moving into counselling and therapy. My approach is person-centred, focusing on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance. I provide a warm and accepting space where you can explore your experiences and find your way forward. I support clients experiencing a wide range of challenges, from everyday struggles and difficulties to more serious conditions.

Approach

I take a person-centred approach to counselling and therapy, creating a warm and accepting space where you can find clarity, direction, and relief. My focus is less on diagnosing or giving advice and more on listening and building a genuine, empathetic, and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. When advice is appropriate, I offer it thoughtfully and tentatively, while supporting you in finding your own way forward.

Services

I work with any 'issues', and my stance is always non-pathologizing. This means that whether you come to counselling with one or several serious diagnoses/conditions, a difficult life-event, or simply nagging dis-ease, I approach you as a genuine person without judgement. I have worked with all ages, from children to mature-age, individuals and couples, and diverse issues.
