What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflect my life and work philosophy. The goal of my approach is the long-term alleviation of distress & suffering. Immediately after a session clients will often feel hopeful and their mood lifts. Thereafter they return to the same home or work environment which maintains the stress and they may feel exactly the same. CBT and DBT provide strategies for longer term relief and successful management of difficulties. Together we will focus on adjusting thoughts, working through difficult emotions, and changing self-defeating behaviours.
I grew up in Cape Town and have been fortunate to live and work in Germany, Ireland and New Zealand. My approach is trauma informed, collaborative and strength enhancing using CBT, DBT informed & ACT interventions. After more than 27 years in the therapy space I remain passionate about providing safe, ethical practice which empowers and reinforces hope.
I am aware reaching out for support can be tough for many of us. We may have been taught that fixing things on our own is a sign of strength and asking for help means we are not coping. The reality is that it takes tremendous courage, hope and strength to reach out. Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey.
