I’m a qualified Counsellor, registered with both the HPCSA and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with a background in nursing that’s shaped my lifelong commitment to supporting people through challenging times. Since 2007, I’ve run a private practice offering bilingual (English and Afrikaans) counselling—both in-person and online.
Services include outpatient addiction support, couple counselling, trauma recovery, stress management, career guidance, employee wellness, single parenting support, Trisomy 18 pregnancy, and grief care. I also offer “walk and talk” sessions in nature, creating a calming space for reflection and healing. I’m contracted in with most medical aids.
If you’re curious, unsure, or simply need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out via email, WhatsApp, or phone. Whether it’s your first time seeking support or you're returning to counselling, you’re welcome here—and there’s no shame in asking for help. We all need a safe space to land, and I’d be honoured to walk that journey with you.
