Approach
My clinical background informs a pragmatic, collaborative pace where we set clear, manageable goals and track small steps toward change. Sessions—offered in English in Durban or online—balance focused problem-mapping with calm reflection so you leave with clarity and a short plan. For mood and anxiety I blend emotional regulation skills, cognitive framing and real-world practice; between sessions I suggest brief exercises to strengthen new responses. This way of working tends to help people seeking steady, practical progress.
