Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to the world of psychology which has now evolved into a full-on passion. As a registered counselling psychologist, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and together we work towards developing you. I truly care for all of my clients and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek within themselves.

Having worked in both corporate and in private practice, I have a keen understanding of how systems impact on mental health, performance and the overall well-being of individuals. My approach is always to empower my clients, so they can see their true strengths and realise their full potential. Mental health is in the last instance being the person you want and need to be-this we realise through a very client centered approach.

A client once asked me: “Don’t you get tired of listening to people’s problems for so many years?” I intuitively responded”: “How can I get tired of listening to their solutions?” I have for most of my life been training and supervising counsellors at two different universities. At the same time always running a private practice part time to ensure I learn from my clients: How they tell their problem saturated stories; and then how we together discover the alternative stories from which they then build their solutions and a preferred life story.

I work with adults, adolescents and children as well as their families. I offer psychotherapy, psycho-educational assessments and psycho-education for parents. I use various therapeutic modalities depending on the needs of the client, these include play therapy, art therapy, equine assisted psychotherapy and somatic work.

Life can throw curveballs in our path from time to time, and these transitional periods can cause stress, anxiety, depression, and isolate us from our friends and families. Going through significant events such as exams, starting at university, thinking about getting married, getting divorced, changing jobs, or even moving house or country can bring up all sorts of emotions and struggles. At the end of the day, we all want to be able to navigate all of life's challenges with the least stress possible, feeling grounded and supported and ready to face the day.
