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. Therapeutic techniques are tailored to the individual needs of the client to aid the client in achieving goals and developing the tools necessary for a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety, depression, life decisions and transitions, grief and loss, trauma, identity and self-esteem issues, personal development and self-care are some of the typical focus areas of therapy.
Couples Therapy
Relationship conflict and communication problems, lack of closeness and intimacy, remarriage decisions and challenges, commitment in relationships are some of the challenges addressed in couples therapy.
Therapy for Adolescents
“Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.” – Virginia Satir
I aim to assist adolescents in overcoming the challenges hampering their personal, academic, social and/or emotional development.
Therapy for Children
I am committed to providing children (starting from three years old) and their parents, therapy, support and education needed to assist the child and family in dealing with challenges.
Some of the challenges addressed may include: behavioral difficulties, attention problems, school related challenges, anger management, depression, divorce, adjustment and social skills. In addition to being a psychologist, my qualification as a teacher is valuable in this regard.

Full psycho-educational assessments using cognitive, emotional and academic assessment tools for children (e.g. school readiness, scholastic evaluations) and adolescents.
Career Guidance
Career assessments, aptitude, personality, values, and interests, including a discussion and recommendations based on the findings, will be part of my career guidance.
