As midwife, mother and Master in Infant Mental Health, I have great insight into Fertility, relationship challenges, loss and depression.
No doubt you are looking at this site because you want something in your life to change. You want to feel better, get out of a repetitive rut, make some relationship changes or improvements, or just feel better within your own skin. My clients find it a huge relief to share and process their concerns - within the safe space of my counselling room or via secure online therapy. I believe strongly in a gentle therapy method - a non-judgemental and compassionate attitude - creating a safe, nurturing space for healing and change to begin. I am very aware of how vulnerable one feels in making that first appointment. It is worth it!

I work with individuals who wish to use their innate psychological strengths to enable meaningful growth, empowerment and goal realisation. It is important to me that psychological engagements are meaningful, create positive challenge, and lead to real growth, and personal exploration between sessions. I work with you to understand what is important to you and why, and then create a joint plan of action to help you move from a state of languishing, to one of flourishing. I do not do quick fixes, however, I also do not believe in engaging in more sessions than needed.

My ideal client is a woman who carries a quiet heaviness, feeling overwhelmed, unseen or unsure of where to turn. She may be going through significant life shifts, struggling to maintain boundaries, or feeling disconnected from the person she used to be. She longs for a space where she can exhale, be heard without judgment and gently find her way back to herself. Her goal is to feel grounded, safe and empowered to create a life that reflects her truth.

I work with adults on a variety of issues. In addition to individual and couples therapy, I carry out psychological assessments for clinical and legal purposes. If you are looking for a gentle, grandmother-type of therapist - that is me. Your therapeutic goals will largely be your own and you will lead the way. As we go along together, I will assist you to explore and make use of helpful techniques. In a career that began in the late 1980's I have worked with South Africans in both the private and the government sectors and so I have experience with people from all walks of life and cultures.

I've been a psychologist for 24 years, after a long business career. I'm committed to fostering a trusting relationship where individuals feel safe to open up and share their true selves. Together, we cultivate an environment in which people discover their inner qualities, strengths, and resilience, make sense of challenging situations and often painful pasts, and build a future where they maintain a strong sense of well-being. My experience shows that clients seek an open, honest, practical and future-focused therapist.

Fairytales make us believe that love is easy. Typically there is a one fight, and then they live happily ever after. But real life relationships take a lot more deliberate action, conversations, and redefining of roles and needs to create lasting, happy connections. You're not broken, and he / she might not be the wrong one! So often our childhood set the tone for what love can and should look like and it unconsciously continues to keep us stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. You can be seen, supported, loved, and happy again. Let's untangle your childhood, equip you with tools, and breathe new life into your marriage.
