Registered Counselor

Verified

“An integrative approach to the clients needs,including online sessions, to attain tools for them to empower their own life's.”

About Me

I am a Registered Counsellor based in Fourways, Gauteng, South Africa. I work with anger, behaviour or conduct issues, relationship problems, self-care, and trauma. I offer personal development and adoption counselling in a practical, supportive space.

Approach

Work with me emphasizes practical skills and steady reflection, blending structured exercises with room to move at your pace. Sessions — in Sandton or online in English — are calm, focused and paced to suit adolescents, adults, couples and families. We notice patterns in anger, relationship strain and trauma, try small experiments between meetings, and build self-care routines that fit daily life. People seeking clear, usable change tend to find this way of working helpful.
