Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Cape Town

Though rarely easy, therapy requires clients to be brave, bold and willing to be vulnerable: I provide a safe and confidential space for therapeutic work which is life-changing and therefore a worthwhile personal investment. Psychotherapy is offered exclusively to adolescent and adult patients, with the option of individual and group sessions. My therapeutic approach is holistic and informed by psychodynamic approach, however, other modalities are used in specific cases where they are identified to be the best treatment.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I understand how difficult it is to access therapy and I pride myself in providing a welcoming, safe and inclusive therapeutic experience. I believe in using evidence-based therapeutic interventions and the primary modalities which I incorporate include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Individual Trauma-Focused Treatment. I have a special interest in supporting adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, grief/loss, sexual abuse, anxiety and depression.

Have you been feeling stuck? Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed and exhausted? Sometimes we don't even know what we are feeling at all. People start counselling for various reasons, all of which are completely valid. These could range from anything between unpacking and healing childhood trauma, to maintaining healthy habits and reaching personal goals. Some of us need a little more support to manage the symptoms of mental health disorders, while others want to develop better boundaries or improve relationships.

Hi. I am an experienced therapist who enjoys working with clients who are pursuing psychological growth and development. My goal is to provide an environment and professional skills which can assist you in achieving this goal. I look forward to taking this journey with you.

In practice, I work from an eclectic approach as I have found therapeutic flexibility to be helpful in meeting my patients’ needs. My therapeutic approach mainly draws initially from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Insight-Oriented and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). If need be, I will use other modalities.

In my practice, I see clients from all walks of life, they often have one thing in common, trauma. Each individual’s experience with trauma is unique, just like our DNA is unique to us. There is no one size fits all method to unpacking and processing what has been traumatic to you. Therefore, it is a collaboration between myself, the counsellor and you, the client, to ensure that the therapeutic process is successful in reaching the goals you have set out to reach. Clients who want to gain control over disempowering moments and memories in a safe environment will feel at home in my office.

Mutual respect is one of the qualities I regard as an important element of the therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with adults (men and woman) from any cultural background. Languages I am proficient in includes Afrikaans and English. We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

You may be struggling with personal, relational or life difficulties and want to work towards bringing about change. If you struggle with adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, existential difficulties, grief, mood disorder, relationship difficulties, trauma or other difficulties, you are welcome to contact me. I have experience with addiction disorders and can be supportive during the recovery phase.

My practice focuses on adult individual therapy. I believe that human beings have an inherent need to connect with others. When these connections and ways in which we relate to others are challenged or compromised it can often lead to psychological pain. Psychological and emotional difficulties in turn may translate into mental health issues. Hence, the core of my therapeutic approach is to develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients where corrective experiences or new ways of relating can occur.

As a counselling psychologist my focus is on short and long term therapeutic interventions with adolescents and adults. Over the past twenty years, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings within South Africa and Canada. Through these experiences, I have developed special interests that include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress management, adjustment issues, interpersonal difficulties and low self esteem.

We all experience times when our ability to cope with what is happening in our lives is challenged, and simply put, we need help. Whether we are experiencing difficulty or conflict in our personal or professional relationships, or adjusting to changes that inevitably happen in life, counselling can offer short-term and dynamic interventions that enhance and support psychosocial wellbeing and personal functioning.

As a counseling psychologist with a background in working with children with cognitive and behavioral issues, as well as guiding parents on coping and dealing with the pressures of raising children, my passion lies in helping individuals and families navigate through their challenges and find a path towards growth and well-being. My approach to counseling is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, and family systems therapy. I believe in tailoring my interventions to meet the specific needs of each client.

My main focus is individuals whether in crisis or transition. I specialise in treating anxious and depressed individuals. I provide a safe space in which to understand the reasons underlying anxiety and depression and identify maladaptive coping strategies. Then we work to replace the maladaptive coping strategies with healthy ones. I also enjoy couples therapy and interventions targeting parenting issues. In addition I offer supportive therapy to individuals who are struggling with substance use.

I enjoy engaging with people from all walks of life. I've worked with clients from a diverse range of settings - from townships & rural clinics, to psychiatric facilities & now private practice. Life can be incredibly overwhelming, which is why it's crucial to find a supportive space to let it all out & find healthy, effective ways to cope. If you're wanting to learn more about yourself & how to promote your mental health, needing practical skills to improve your relationships, mindfulness skills to deal with your thoughts or ways to manage emotions, so that you're in control - look no further! I'm only working online at the moment.
