I’m a Cape Town based clinical psychologist offering online therapy for individuals across South Africa. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by current psychological research. I draw on a range of effective therapeutic methods, tailoring each process to suit the unique needs and goals of the individual. People come to therapy for many different reasons, and because of this, I believe in a flexible approach. I aim to work in a focused, time-sensitive way when possible, but also offer longer-term therapy when deeper or ongoing support is needed.
In the early stages of therapy, I focus on helping clients gain insight into the life events and patterns that may be contributing to current challenges. At the same time, I believe it’s equally important to identify personal strengths and explore how these can be used to move toward meaningful change.
These elements form the foundation of a therapy plan that is both thoughtful and practical. As therapy progresses, clients often begin to develop new ways of coping, gradually replacing patterns that no longer serve them. I aim to strike a balance between reflection and learning practical tools to manage distress and improve overall wellbeing.
