Self-awareness is the foundation of a meaningful relationship with yourself and with others. True personal growth begins when we take the time to understand our inner world: our triggers, relational patterns, and the unconscious drivers behind self-sabotaging behaviours. As Carl Jung stated, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct
your life, and you will call it fate.' Therapy offers a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-exploration, one that empowers individuals to become experts in their own lives. As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer specialised, evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions.

As a psychodynamic music therapist (HPCSA registered), I work with clients to access unconscious material through both verbal and non-verbal arts processes. This allows us to explore deep-rooted thinking patterns and behaviours, helping clients become aware of their origins and facilitate meaningful change. In today’s busy society, many experience a disconnection between mind, body, and spirit – our sessions focus on restoring that connection, fostering a sense of wholeness and integration. Authenticity and creating a safe, containing space are essential to my practice.

Child Counsellors
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
