Being human is hard. Perhaps you’re wrestling with grief after a loss, struggling to adapt to big life changes, or feeling the weight of anxiety, dread, sadness, or heartbreak. You might find yourself alone in a crowded room, uncertain of how to express your needs or maintain meaningful connections. You want relief from the relentless inner critic, clarity on the next step, and the confidence to ask for and receive support. Ultimately, you’re craving a sense of stability, self‑understanding, and the ability to navigate life’s twists and turns without feeling overwhelmed or isolated.

I use an Integrative approach that blends Person-Centred empathy with the practical tools of CBT and Positive Psychology.
You feel physically and emotionally exhausted by the weight of grief, relationship distance, or a persistent sense of "survival mode." You’re not just looking for a listener; you’re looking for a way back to yourself. My clients often feel a disconnect between their mind, body, and soul, and they are ready to bridge that gap. Whether you are processing a deep loss, navigating couples' conflict, or seeking personal growth, you want a space that honours your unique story while providing the clarity and tools needed to move from overwhelm into a life of purpose and balance.

I am a counselling psychologist in Pretoria with a strong background in Christianity. I worked as a pastor for over 25 years before training as a psychologist. However, when you consult with me, you consult with a psychologist, not a pastor, unless you require spiritual counselling. I worked with couples who experienced challenges using the Marriage Encounter approach to strengthen their relationships and couples who are ready to throw in the towel by using Retroavaille approach to give them a lifeline. I work with adults (individuals and couples) to explore their challenges. I offer a safe and supportive environment.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
