Therapists in City of Johannesburg
I work with a large variety of clients from 16 years to retired persons, couple sessions as well as one-on-one sessions. Most of my clients are dealing with some of the following: trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, lack of direction, eating disorders, performance problems, emotional turmoil, low self-esteem or are just generally demotivated and tired! Some just need to talk through their grief or anger. They all come with the need to heal, manage the world and find the joy in their lives again.

I instinctively formulate psychodynamically. However, I am a firm believer of meeting my clients where they are and together framing treatment within a modality that fits the presenting problem and the client’s therapeutic goals. I believe that one size does not fit all! This belief aligns with my integrative training which allows for the viewing of individuals as complex and dynamic beings, who at times struggle with interpersonal challenges rooted in multifaceted systems.

The teardrop captures the struggle to cope with the pain and emptiness of our lived experience. It also embodies our capacity to be moved – to feel joy, mastery, beauty and love. This statement captures new possibilities for transition, growth, creation and becoming. Therapy is the space that offers a dialogue between your inner states of mind and the world outside of you where conflict and struggle often play out. As you put words to these experiences, you start to see the patterns of your relationship to the world and the people in it. Getting to this place is wonderful as you begin to live the change that you seek.
