A professional counselling psychologist with 14 years of experience practicing in Morningside, Sandton.

About Me

As a Counseling psychologist with 14 years of experience, I help individuals navigate life's complexities. My practice is based in Morningside, Sandton. I aim to create a calm, confidential space where we can explore your concerns. We work together to understand challenges and develop practical strategies for everyday life. Clients seeking an experienced, grounded approach find our sessions beneficial.

Approach

My work centers on practical, compassionate engagement that helps you make sense of difficult moments and find steady ways forward. From my Morningside consulting room and via secure online sessions in English, I pace each meeting to suit your rhythm — balancing focused, evidence-informed exercises with room to reflect. Between sessions I suggest small, achievable tasks to test new responses to stress, mood shifts or traumatic memories. Adults and couples seeking structured, steady support often find this approach helpful.
