Therapists in Wapadrand

“You will never be able to escape from your heart so it is better to listen to what it has to say.” True connection between a psychologist and a client can bring profound personal growth. A platform can be created for the client to give life to their heart’s yearning – be it a desire to deal with trauma, to improve interpersonal relationships, to navigate through difficult phases of life or even to develop emotional intelligence. When consulting with a psychologist a channel is created for you to hear the true language of your heart.

I am a Counselling Psychologist in Private Practice. My practice is situated at The Orchards (Ext 84), Pretoria. Types of services include assessments and psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults. Interventions are tailored based on the individual's needs. Life is full of trials, tribulations and the unending humankind responsibilities. It is essential to prioritise your mental, psychological and social well-being. Personal therapy can be overwhelming at the beginning; however, the process can be filled with rich learnings of personal development and coping skills necessary to deal with life adversities.

I work with people of all ages – children, adolescents and adults – dealing with a range of psychological and psychiatric difficulties that include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma and changes in mood. My passion lies in working with adolescents and young adults, providing a space where my clients are able to engage freely from a position of safety. I also have a keen interest in working with victims of cybercrime related to extortion. My belief around running my practice is quality over quantity, as I place significant value on both the time I can offer my clients and a deep engagement in the overall process.

Many adolescents and adults are in search of their life purpose and ideal career. In today's ever changing fast pace it is essential to find the best fit and live a meaningful life to contribute to society. Companies are also searching for employees who will be the best fit to their values, jobs and teams. Those serious about their employees are also driven to provide suitable development opportunities to employees who have been identified as talent and are yearning to learn and grow. A means to facilitate these processes is an objective assessment measure through psychometric evaluation and guidance.

Freedom from financial and emotional stress. They are looking for reassurance on a decision that they have already made. Emotional support, understanding, empathy and unconditional acceptance. The most important things my clients require is respect, not being judged and discriminated against for seeing a psychologist. They want to know that they will get professional assistance and emotional support.

My interests in therapy and education are broad and I enjoy working with a diversity of clients and psychological difficulties. I aim to provide a safe, thoughtful and non-judgemental space in which clients can feel comfortable working through psychological difficulties and work towards more meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

I believe that my role is to facilitate healing, growth and increased self awareness in my clients. This comes from my understanding that as people we face different life challenges and are often in conflict with the everchanging circumstances of our lives. We all use different coping skills to adapt to life and at times our coping skills are not sufficient and we are left feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. Mine is to journey with you through your process in identifying obstacles, removing of symptoms and lessening the pain while positioning yourself well within important social systems for self fulfilment.

Everyone’s emotional well-being and mental health is important; regardless of your race, gender/gender expression, religious beliefs, or physical attributes.

To me, psychotherapy is a collaborative process that assists with facilitating self–and-emotional awareness, insight development, empowering autonomy, providing psychological support through the process of self-actualization. In other words, psychotherapy facilitates GROWTH!

Trust the process of healing: a Person’s life experiences directly impact on their overall wellbeing.  When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for our lives to unravel. Often underlying emotional problems need to be addressed before a lasting improvement in a person's quality of life can take place.
