My work is psychoanalytically informed, creating a space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and histories at their own pace. While my foundation is psychoanalytic, I also make use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) when clinically indicated, particularly for individuals who experience emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, or self-destructive behaviours. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is a meaningful and transformative experience.

In life, we face many challenges that affect us on different levels. These may include stress, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, trauma and many others. How we deal with these challenges is important so that we can be mentally and physically healthy and live fulfilling lives. Sometimes, we just need someone to lend an ear and other times we need a professional to guide us in our process of healing. When working with clients, I believe that each client has the internal resources that can facilitate change and that thorugh a safe and non - judgmental space this can be achieved.

Slow down, feel heard.
People often come to therapy when things feel heavy, stuck, or unclear — or when there’s a sense that something could be different. As a Clinical Psychologist, I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on in your life and relationships.
Together, we explore current challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, while also making sense of the patterns and experiences that may be shaping them — whether at home, work, school, or in sport.

My ideal client is anybody who has suffered with a mental health issue such as, depression, anxiety, eating disorder, trauma, difficulties with a relationship or a desire to truly self actualize.
My focus is on clients who want to heal and grow. It is a proactive, solution-focused approach, that leads to empowerment of the client. It is a process that involves the commitment of both the therapist and the client, to break patterns and shift thinking and behavior, so that the client can be freed from emotional pain. Together we co-create a new reality.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a difficult step, particularly if you are already feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to begin. Many people hesitate for a long time before contacting a therapist, often wondering whether their difficulties are “serious enough” or whether therapy will truly help. These uncertainties are very common and completely understandable.

This is not a conventional approach to psychotherapy. My programme involves an integrated approach at psychotherapy and neuroscience. I teach my clients scientifically backed up techniques to release trauma, heal from at a cellular level and how to reprogram the subconscious mind to function at an optimal level, according to your desires and needs. You will never perceive life the same, your vision, goals and ultimately your healing will transcend in ways that will attract peace and joy for you. My approach is unique, motivating and will appeal to any age group, ethnicity, race, gender and embraces a complete approach of inclusivity

I strive to create a warm and comfortable environment in which you can feel accepted & free to express your deepest feelings, thoughts and fears. Through narrative therapy, in which you tell me your life story, I help you become the hero, and survivor instead of the victim. My goal is to uncover opportunities for growth and development, find meaning, and for you to understand yourself better. The aim is to separate the individual from the problem, allowing you to externalize your issues rather than internalize them. As counsellor I provide vital support as you make your way through this journey of self-actualization and growth.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counselling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioural disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behaviour, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognise they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
