I am a compassionate and experienced Clinical Psychologist. For the past twelve years, I have worked at UCT as well as in my private practice. I am on the provider networks of most medical aids, and can apply for PMB benefits where applicable. I have had the privilege of assisting many clients to find ways to manage the challenges in their lives and to build their resilience. I am a gentle therapist and you can expect a non-judgemental space in which you will hopefully feel comfortable and safe. I see therapy as a collaborative process and I am passionate about my work. I also offer online therapy sessions if you prefer this.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and work closely with my clients according to their needs. Collaboratively, we will work out what you wish to focus on in your therapy. I have a particular interest in EMDR, a well researched, brain based therapy which is helpful for trauma, grief, anxiety and phobias. For more information, go to www.emdrsouthafrica.co.za
I know that reaching out to a therapist takes courage. I encourage you to do so. You are very welcome to contact me for a free introduction telephone or video call if you would like to meet me first.
