Going through changes in life can feel overwhelming. You might feel anxious, stuck, or no longer like yourself. During times of transition—such as midlife shifts, relocation, relationship changes, or burnout—it’s easy to lose your sense of direction. Counselling offers a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin to find your footing again. I work with adults navigating life transitions, including peri-menopause, identity shifts, and uncertainty. I also work with couples and teenagers, supporting them through developmental and relational shifts.

My approach is grounded in mindfulness and supported by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I help you develop practical skills to manage emotions, reduce overwhelm, and build self-awareness. I offer a collaborative, non-judgemental space tailored to your needs.

With a background in the corporate world, I understand stress, burnout, and identity shifts. I enjoy working with diverse clients, including expats adjusting to life in Sea Point and Cape Town. I’m passionate about helping people navigate change and reconnect with meaning and balance.
