Counselling in Afrikaans in London
Life isn’t easy, and if you’re reading this, you may be ready to talk—and to be truly heard. My ideal client is someone struggling with trauma, anxiety, or emotional pain. They may feel numb, disconnected, or unsure of who they are. What they seek is a safe space to explore their emotions, gain clarity, and begin healing. Talking fosters self-awareness and understanding. Together, we’ll work through the pain so you can reconnect with your true self and move forward with strength and purpose.

Therapy can offer you the opportunity to pause, reflect and understand yourself more deeply. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. Together, we can explore what is happening for you at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. You may be here because something in your life no longer feels quite right. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, grieving, anxious, stuck, disconnected or uncertain about what comes next. You may be trying to make sense of your identity, relationships, emotions or experiences, or simply feel that you need a safe space where you can talk openly and be heard without judgement.

I have years of experience with working with both individuals and couples I help partners improve their relationship by facilitating communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening emotional bonds. I guide couples through challenging situations, assess their needs, and develop individualised treatment plans. I assess the strengths and weakness of each relationship, and identify patterns of interaction and communication. I also conduct an individual assessment to understand each partner's emotional state and needs within the relationship. For individuals we work through whatever presenting issue they came to therapy for.

Every person has a story they tell themselves and other people.
Sometimes these stories, or "scripts", are no longer helpful, and this is where therapy can help. Whether it is ADHD related, relationships that are under pressure or stress and anxiety about the world we live in.
Together, we will discover what makes you ... well ... you and how, through compassionate, co-created therapy, you can integrate challenging parts of yourself.
You matter, always.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and unsure of yourself, experiencing relationship difficulties, or personal difficulties, then please know that you do not need to bear this alone. Whatever the reason for therapy, I work alongside and with my clients facing many challenges to help share the burden. I feel that bearing with someone in their vulnerability and suffering is a great privilege.

Sometimes you may feel able to talk to trusted family or friends. However, at this moment, a private, secluded space may be what you need if you feel depressed, low, anxious, scared, or hopeless because of a current situation or something that happened in previous relationships. As a result, unwanted thoughts or images keep feeding overwhelming feelings and unwanted behaviours. These feelings, thoughts, and behaviours can feel too difficult to understand, manage, or share with anyone, leaving you feeling alone or misunderstood. I offer privacy and a trusted space where you can share your experiences at your own pace.

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or a general sense of being stuck or disconnected. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found something missing - it helped to a point, but didn't quite get at what keeps you struggling. You might recognise you keep encountering the same difficulties in different relationships or situations. Or you understand intellectually why you feel or do certain things, yet find it difficult to change. You're looking for more than symptom management - you want to understand the patterns underneath your struggles and find a way forward that feels genuinely different.

You may be feeling anxious, stressed, burnt out or overwhelmed by everything you’re carrying right now—whether it’s work pressure, relationship difficulties or the impact of a long-term health condition. Perhaps you’re experiencing panic attacks, low self-esteem, overthinking or people-pleasing, and you want a space where you can pause and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. We support adults, young people and couples, including those coping with trauma, ongoing health challenges or relationship concerns, and help you move toward feeling more grounded, confident and connected.

We can all benefit from creating spaces of reflection and connection in our lives. Psychotherapy can be useful not only in helping people in severe psychological distress, but also in facilitating self-discovery, insight and growth, particularly during times of difficulty, change and transition. Greater curiosity about one’s self and increased self-awareness can help to bring recognition to, and shift, unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This insight can also increase the capacity to cope with challenging situations; contribute to building more meaningful relationships; & create space for a rich, meaningful and balanced life.

You may be feeling concerned about your child’s emotional well-being or behaviour, and unsure how best to help. Your child may be experiencing dysregulation, trauma-related responses, or difficulties at school, or may be neurodivergent, including ADHD, ASD, or be demand avoidant (PDA). I have extensive experience with care-experienced and adopted children. Through play therapy, I offer a safe, child-centred, neuro-affirming space where children can express themselves, build regulation, and feel understood. I work collaboratively with parents and use a wide range of play and sensory materials to increase regulation and resilience.

Are you or your loved ones struggling with difficulties like depression, anxiety or trauma? Do you have difficulties getting to or staying asleep? Tricky relationships or situations at work or at home can cause stress and anxiety. For your children, the difficulties could be about school and university. I enjoy working with adults and young people who are finding life a little tricky. My 30 year career in the classroom means I understand adolescents and their difficulties. My aim is to help you identify the areas that are difficult and then to find strategies and solutions to overcome these.

I work with adults on a wide range of things. Anxiety, low mood, trauma, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, low self-worth, and questions about identity, culture and belonging. I also work with addiction and recovery, which sits alongside the rest of my practice rather than defining it. Sessions are online, so you can meet me from wherever you feel private enough to talk. If you are not ready to book anything yet, I also write printable workbooks on the things that come up most in my room. Core beliefs, self esteem, boundaries, attachment and recovery, to work through at your own pace.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or not yourself. Many people come to me after cancer treatment, during surgical or chemical menopause, or when burnout has left them running on empty.
Some come as couples, trying to stay connected when illness, stress or big changes have shaken things. Others are neurodivergent or exploring whether they might be, feeling stretched thin or misunderstood.
If parts of this echo your own experience, we can look at it together in a way that feels manageable and begin to understand what’s been happening and what might help.

I help people navigate the complexity of emotional, psychological and domestic abuse. I work with people who need help navigating relationships in light of abuse. Very often individuals who have experienced this type of trauma find it difficult to understand themselves, feel desperate and often isolated. I help people make sense of their experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. You are not alone and can improve your life. Let me guide you through your experience of abuse so you can begin to live again rather than just surviving.

Life is so beautiful, and life is so hard. Maybe, for you, it feels especially hard right now. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you’re overwhelmed. Anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt could be holding you back, making it hard to focus or set goals. Sleep may feel impossible, leaving you exhausted and unmotivated. You want clarity, calm, and to reconnect with what matters most. You’re ready for change, even if you’re unsure where to start.
