Services Offered

I offer evidence-based  therapy that is collaborative and tailored to each client's needs and circumstances for a wide range of challenges. I offer therapy to individuals, couples, children and families of all ages. I recognise that people come to therapy for different reasons and have different expectations, and therefore I am flexible and collaborative.

I take a holistic approach in understanding the unique experiences and lives of my clients. My aim is to empower, energise and motivate clients to create a holistic healthy life for themselves and those around them in a compassionate and caring environment.

Services can be provided in English and Afrikaans.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a collaborative process between the client and myself. Measurable, time-framed goals are determined to assist the client and psychologist in moving toward the established goals.
