My ideal clients are individuals and families facing the emotional and psychological challenges of child abuse, custody disputes, and family trauma. They seek resolution, clarity, and emotional healing through family assessments, therapy, and support. Their needs include addressing complex family dynamics, understanding the impact of abuse, and prioritising the best interests of children and the Voice of the Child. They want a safe space to heal, grow, and receive expert guidance to navigate legal and emotional challenges. I have satellite offices in Pietermaritzburg, Hermanus, George, and Brackenfell for Forensic Services.
I specialise in forensic family assessments, including child abuse investigations, custody disputes, and socio-emotional evaluations. My therapeutic interventions focus on family attachment and supporting children and adults who have experienced trauma. I also offer a co-developed programme for sex and love addiction.
I believe in using a strength-based and empowerment approach with my clients as well as an attachment-family-based therapeutic approach for my clients with challenging life experiences to enhance their quality of life.
