I offer a space where you can meet yourself with kindness and curiosity. Many of us carry experiences of shame, self-judgement, grief, or a general sense of dissatisfaction. At the same time, there is often a deep longing to live a fulfilling and authentic life, and to experience meaningful connection with others. In my practice, I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. Others come to counselling with a desire to better understand themselves and to grow into a fuller, more aligned version of who they are. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.
After completing my Masters in Psychology I co-founded a research agency and spent the next 15 years working with vulnerable groups throughout Africa. I later completed a counselling qualification, and qualified as an end of life companion and worked in the palliative sector. I am currently a Trauma Counsellor at the Christian Barnard Memorial Hospital.
I would love to meet you, either in person or online. Please email or Whatsapp me if you are looking for a warm and welcoming space where you can practice self inquiry, and move towards personal healing and living your life with authenticity.

The first session or two is spent getting to understand what you would like to change in order to be happy, calm and authentic. In sessions that follow we will identify core beliefs (often unconscious), learn to listen to cues from your body, develop a practice of self compassion, explore coping mechanisms developed (perhaps no longer helpful), and clarify actions to be taken between sessions.

I believe that we grow and change when we can explore our behaviour and emotions with curiosity - rather than judgement and recrimination - and from a place of deep compassion for ourselves. These may be skills we have not previously learnt, and the counselling space can be where we learn to engage more kindly with ourselves.
