Therapists in Pretoria

Over the years I have trained to become a Clinical Psychologist, I was intrigued by the studies in the field of Psychology on how they conceptualize psychological and psychiatric problems. Through the experience in the field I have realized no single theory can be expected to explain the complexity of an individual’s unique mind. I am working with individuals, adults, couples and families to allow reconnection to hope and humour.

Working with individuals, couples, families with various issues such as depression, anxiety, work-related stressors, adjustment issues, bereavement etc.

Working with trauma presents as a space that can be messy and produce multiple forms of obstacles, but it is through working with some history that may be hurtful and confusing that growth takes place not only for the client but for me as a counsellor. Identifying that the need is to firstly speak and be heard, held in the moment, guided in understanding their current physical and psychological reactions due to their traumas. Goals align around either a physical need or psychological motivation to have better/healthier coping mechanisms. As said in their needs, being heard and held in a space allows for a sense of freedom to let go.

I am a Clinical Psychologist. I work predominantly from an integrative and person centred approach within face to face sessions. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to flourish in life!

Alternatively, are you generally functioning well but would like to function optimally? Assessment of your brain networks and your physical responses to stress (e.g. heart rate variability & muscle tension), may help clarify matters. Do you want to master biological self-regulation to overcome stress and achieve more?

I am a therapist who work with individuals. I see children, adolescents and adults. Each patient is a person with a unique biography which include both their joys and struggles. I focus on the person and through our relationship I do my best to help them to understand their thoughts and feelings and to get to know why they feel and behave the way they do. On our journey together we explore whatever they bring, be it a thought, a feeling, a relationship, a dream, a stuckness or a symptom. Therapy, like other relationships, can be difficult.
