As a psychodynamic music therapist (HPCSA registered), I work with clients to access unconscious material through both verbal and non-verbal arts processes. This allows us to explore deep-rooted thinking patterns and behaviours, helping clients become aware of their origins and facilitate meaningful change. In today’s busy society, many experience a disconnection between mind, body, and spirit – our sessions focus on restoring that connection, fostering a sense of wholeness and integration. Authenticity and creating a safe, containing space are essential to my practice.
I am particularly passionate about supporting women who have experienced gender-based violence or other forms of trauma. With a trauma-informed approach, I assist them in their journey toward recovery, using a variety of tools and techniques.
I am trained as a psychodynamic music therapist, currently completing a certificate course in foundational Jungian Concepts through the South African Association for Jungian Analysis and completing advanced training to become a Guided Imagery and Music Fellow.
