Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Ed. Psych.
In my therapeutic work, I follow a person-centred approach that honours the individual as a whole — mind, body, and psyche. I believe that each client already carries their own innate strengths, insight, and “magic,” and that the role of the psychologist is to gently guide and support them in recognising and accessing these inner resources. Therapy, for me, is about creating a safe, compassionate space where individuals feel deeply heard, empowered, and supported as they work toward their personal goals and self-actualisation.

My ideal client is motivated and honest and prepare to face their issues. A client needs to be committed to the process of change to reach their goals. Their issues include amongst others, dealing with trauma, loss, meaning in life questions, depression, anxiety, fear of the future, lifespan developmental challenges, and relationships. Their goals would be to clarify their issues and identify potential causes, both by gaining insight in their internal worlds as well as their interpersonal behavior. They acknowledge the spiritual dimension of existence and seek a meaningful relationship with God.

My approach to therapy is integrative, blending elements of Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Reaching out for support is not always easy, and I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to take this first step. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about understanding yourself better, seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin, just a willingness to explore, reflect, and grow. I'm here to walk alongside you in that process.

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.
