Therapists in Cape Town City

I offer counselling and coaching mostly in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family matters. I work with individuals, couples and families. Having been in the field for over 15 years; I have a passion for assisting clients to overcome challenges; seeing them become the best version of themselves and living within their purpose.

Throughout my training and work experience, I've come to develop admiration for the resilience, wisdom & strength clients carry within themselves. I've learned that we all carry our own life stories and experiences. Some of these experiences may have contributed to unconscious emotional wounds and unhelpful beliefs which can contribute to disconnection, pain and pain and unhelpful ways of coping. By developing awareness of our stories and wounds we can start a process of healing which can equip us to take better care of ourselves and live full and healthy lives.

What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflects my life and work philosophy. Healing and recovery is a journey of facing and living through challenges. Therapy isn't all about pain & sadness - it's also a space of Hope, Upliftment and Transformation. Together we'll gain insight into the factors which contribute and maintain the challenges you face. We will focus on developing skills to manage stress/distress by adjusting thoughts, fully processing emotions and changing self-defeating behaviours thereby enabling you to live LIFE to the fullest.

In therapy, I aim to create a therapeutic environment where all clients can feel free to be themselves and work on therapeutic goals in a thoughtful and constructive manner. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients in order to reach their goals. These goals may include establishing meaningful relationships with themselves and others, personal development, working through difficulties, or symptom reduction. I regard establishing therapeutic relationships with my clients as one of life’s greatest privileges.

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

Life is tough, sometimes very tough. Us, as human beings often forget to take care of the most basic of our needs in favor of immediate responsibilities and often put off the things that fuel us - when our fuel runs out, we are left with the wreckage and very little motivation to pick up those pieces. The healing journey offers a space to recuperate and learn to know and love ourselves again and to remember that sometimes its okay to not be okay. I journey with those who come see me, and noting is more beautiful and rewarding for to see someone transform their lives into something they have always wanted.

As human beings, we strive towards becoming the best version of ourselves. But life often throws several curveballs at us which can lead to difficult times and severe emotional distress. However, it is never too late to practice the necessary self-care and reach out for guidance and support.

My practice focuses on individual adult therapy. As resilient as we are as individuals, sometimes our psychological, social and emotions difficulties become really overwhelming and it becomes difficult to cope. During those times, one can develop mental health challenges, that impact on one’s day to day functioning. When that happens, for a time in our lives, we may need professional assistance in our healing and recovery journeys to better psychological health. This can be daunting or scary, but a brave choice to make.

I am committed to providing accessible psychological services which focuses on support and promoting well-being to individuals, families and groups. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process and I use interventions that best suit the needs of the client to focus on what will bring about the most meaningful change in their lives. Areas of interest include personal growth and identity development, family relationship struggles, adjustments difficulties, loss and bereavement, trauma, self-esteem, bullying, stress, burnout and lifestyle management, self-development, dealing with divorce, and step-family integration.

Strategic business and career coaching & purposeful life coaching is my passion. Ambitious and career orientated professionals will benefit from the coaching process as it allows you to challenge your critical reasoning, leadership and strategic thinking skills.
