I am a Counselling Psychologist situated in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, in close proximity to the areas of Rosebank and Sandton. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families addressing current challenges with a Solution Focused approach. These challenges may include some more common complaints such as depression and anxiety, or those trying to come to terms with a trauma or bereavement. My approach is focused and therefore short-term in nature. As such long term time commitments is uncommon. I hope this can help people achieve significant change whilst offering them a more cost effective therapeutic approach.

My ideal client appears strong on the outside but feels overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted within. They may be navigating grief, trauma, attachment wounds, depression, or the impact of a major life or medical change. They need a safe, attuned space to understand their patterns and regulate intense emotions. Their goal is not just symptom relief, but deeper healing stronger relationships, resilience, clarity, and a renewed sense of identity and self-trust.

Hi, I'm Tash. I provide therapy to individuals, families & groups in Somerset West. Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected. You may feel on edge, flat, or anxious, yet tell yourself you should be coping better. Perhaps you're snapping at loved ones, feeling depleted, or worrying that you're “too much”. You might even notice yourself repeating the same patterns and wondering when things will change. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t need to have everything figured out. Together, we can work toward understanding your experiences and creating meaningful change.

Trauma is a very important aspect of many people's lives which I treat by emotionally helping clients to get in touch with the pain.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
