On a personal note, I am a married 46-year-old mother to an 12-year-old son. Why do I tell you this? Because I believe it is important for you to know that I have not only academic but also broad life experience. I have worked through much emotional and physical trauma in my life thus far, so I am able to understand the depths of feelings my clients present. I counsel both individuals and couples. I am an Individual and Couples Counsellor, a Specialist Wellness Counsellor and a Certified Imago Professional Facilitator.
My areas of specialty include (but are not limited to) Premarital counselling, Marriage and Relationship Counselling and Individual Counselling – issues relating to infidelity, trust, separation, divorce, parenting, co-parenting, family dynamics, anger management, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, intimacy and sex, loss of motivation, lack of goals, etc.
Even if you have been to counselling before, you may feel apprehensive or nervous at the thought. Once you pick up the phone and make the appointment (call, WhatsApp or email), you will have taken a brave first step. Congratulate yourself on beginning your journey towards a better life. I look forward to meeting you and working together on your future.

Our first session is about me getting to know you and the areas you are wanting to work on. BUT, perhaps more importantly, the session is also for you to get a first impression of me to decide whether we are a good fit. For counselling to be effective, you need to 'gel' with your counsellor. In follow-up sessions, we focus on practical solutions initially and then delve deeper.

You will notice that I do not spout a lot of psychological theories during sessions. Why? Because I believe in starting with practical solutions to your most pressing daily problems before moving to the deeper substantial areas of pain or difficulty. I draw upon many theories and theorists in my practice. However, each client is unique, so I prefer to cherry-pick my approach accordingly.
