Life can fracture suddenly through violence, loss, relationship rupture, or overwhelming events. In those moments, people need grounding, clarity, and skilled support to stabilise and regain control.
I am an HPCSA-registered counsellor with more than 20 years’ experience supporting adults and helpers through acute trauma, crisis and post-incident recovery.
I work with individuals and organisations who require structured, practical intervention after disruptive life events.
I offer online consultations and work with clients and organisations across Africa.
My approach is structured, trauma-informed and focused on stabilisation, empowerment, and growth.
Sessions are practical and goal-directed, helping clients to understand trauma responses without pathologising, regulate the nervous system after shock and restore a sense of safety and agency to develop clear coping strategies for daily functioning.
If you are navigating the aftermath of a crisis or require structured trauma support, you are welcome to make contact to discuss your needs.
