Therapists in Cape Town City

I am an organised & empathic Registered Counsellor (HPCSA) with a positively infectious personality. I have experience in multiple areas of practice within the mental health sphere, & I have a keen interest in one-on-one counselling for people of all ages. I fiercely advocate for my clients & I believe that all deserve access to quality mental healthcare.

Clients have different needs that they would seek assistance with from a competent professional. The client needs to be heard and their feelings validated. I provide a safe and confidential space for clients 14 years old and above to engage with me. My specialist Counselling knowledge and approach will put the client at ease and allow the therapy to take its course. I acknowledge that each individual requires different levels of support and based on that, I apply my technique of empathetic listening and appropriate counselling as required.

The therapy room seems to be one of the only remaining places where two people can sit together uninterrupted for 50 minutes. My practice offers an unconditional, non-judgemental containing space to women seeking the clarity to live with increased insight, personal power, and purpose. By supporting your personal growth and healing, I’ll help you steadily move towards a state of centeredness and equilibrium. I combine practical, solution-focused techniques with insight-oriented psychodynamic theory and a dash of eastern wisdom to help you find healthier perceptions of yourself.

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.

Cedar Psychology was established to cater to different mental health needs within a safe, non-judgmental and containing environment. We all have our ups and downs, where support from family and friends can be enough to help us manage our stress. Sometimes we may feel that we need more. Some may enter therapy because they have felt sad, worried, confused, angry, or numb for a long time, or would like help processing their past. Others may enter therapy because of sudden life changes such as the loss of a loved one, work/school stressors or relationship difficulties. Whatever your reason may be, support is available.

Taking the step to get therapy can be quite daunting for anyone. It can mean that at times, you may have to work through difficult challenges and painful experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space where every client can safely navigate through key life experiences while also feeling empowered to grow. I’ve worked with clients from many different backgrounds & I aspire for clients know that they are seen no matter the age, race, gender or ability or sexual orientation.

My area of expertise is treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, behavioural and emotional difficulties and young adult issues in general.

My passion for “helping others” began at a very young age. Since then, I have equipped myself with the knowledge and the skill set needed to journey with others. My role is to come along side you, and assist where I can, so your life journey can be lighter with each step that you take. My approach is to holistically understand the individual, each intervention is specifically designed for you, so that your therapeutic needs are consistently met.

I have worked with people for 25 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.

I am a psychologist, coach and writer. My unique approach is working with psychology as a component of consciousness - not the other way around. I trained at New York University & the NY Psychoanalytic Institute. I draw from hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis, somatic & inner child work. I have a deep reverence and respect for each person’s unique chosen path. My therapeutic approach is respectful, gentle and eclectic. I teach yoga & meditation in my spare time.
