Welcome! As a woman, I understand how complex and messy life can be, and my aim is to provide quality, affordable, and flexible sessions for all women. I work best with those who are ready to invest in their mental health, explore different avenues of healing, show up for themselves, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change. Healing isn’t always easy, it takes strength, vulnerability, and commitment. But, together, it can be a beautiful experience. I adopt a gentle but structured guided approach by using exercises and personalized resources to support your unique journey, leading to a healthier and happier you.
Nurture. Heal. Grow. These 3 principles govern the way I support women’s mental and emotional health through wellness-focused, flexible, and integrative online counselling tailored to each woman’s unique, specific needs. Special interests include (but are not limited to): identity, life transitions, mental and physical health, relationships, and finances.
If you're struggling with these issues or you simply need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out. I am available during the in between hours - that time during your day when you finally have a breather - so reach out and let's talk. I am willing to adjust session times so that it aligns with your personal schedule <3

At the moment, I'm not registered with any medical aid providers, as my fees are set at half the price of standard sessions. For this reason, I currently accept direct payments only. However, if you have any questions about discounts for multiple sessions or payment options, feel free to reach out!

Holding a BSc Honours from the UK, a Diploma from South Africa, and a MSc from Spain, I pride myself on cultural diversity. Combined with years of educational and counselling experience.

I prefer a holistic and integrative approach to counselling, as I believe that disruption results due to imbalances in both mind and body. In the first session, I get to know you, and we will explore how you feel currently, where you'd like to be, and what your past was like. Thereafter, I may ask other questions regarding your lifestyle to understand you better and what treatment may work best.
