I am a clinical psychologist working primarily with adolescents and adults in private practice. As a practitioner, my approach is, primarily, psychodynamic which explores individual unconscious processes as well as the influence of early developmental experiences on immediate quality of life. I also work from a relational position which examines our social context including interpersonal interactions. I understand that embarking on therapy can feel overwhelming and may evoke mixed feelings for many. My intention is to create a containing and collaborative space, one where the client can feel understood, recognized and secure.

I am a clinical psychologist offering psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. I work psychodynamically, meaning I work with the unconscious, and believe that our feelings about ourselves and others are often rooted in our early experiences. At the same time, I am attuned to the social forces that shape our ways of living in the world, and consider each individual holistically within their context.

Life can be challenging and complicated. Our past experiences have a way of influencing how we manage the challenges life brings and we can often find ourselves repeating patterns of behaviour, which can create even more difficulties. Therapy is a space to explore these patterns and to have an experience which is safe and challenging at the same time.

Starting therapy is a courageous and very important step. It is possible that you have experienced a variety of losses, changed how you normally feel, or felt a strong desire to understand more about and appreciate who you are. Counselling is a setting that can be useful for navigating these situations, discovering new identities, and getting over obstacles in life. The main objective of therapy is to essentially improve the client's relationship with themselves and the outside world, in addition to helping them realize their goals. We assist clients in pursuing their ideal quality of life during therapy.

I treat a wide range of clinical diagnoses, including addiction, gaming and gambling disorders.
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.

They are addicted to a substance or behaviour but they cannot afford to or have the time to check into in patient treatment.
Any addiction left untreated is progressive and often fatal BUT can be managed. Through the abstinence of the substance or input of choice and a change in lifestyle choices, counselling, support and accountability the recovering addict CAN maintain sobriety. I offer an out patient treatment program that is both affordable and effective.

Do you have an addiction or Addictions?
Addictions lead to changes in brain function, which then reduces the person's ability to discontinue the addictive behavior even though it causes harm to self and others. This then leads to financial, social, work, and relationship problems. We use the EEG to identify the brain networks disrupted by the addiction and retrain the brain using EEG Biofeedback.

What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
