Registered Counsellor, HPCSA - Counsellor
Milnerton 7441
My ideal clients are individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, trauma, or repeating relationship patterns. Many arrive overwhelmed or disconnected, unsure how to move forward. At my practice, I integrate DBT, systemic approaches, and brain‑based methods that help clients befriend their nervous system and bring the body to safety. Together we uncover patterns, build practical skills for resilience and connection, and create space to inhabit life with greater freedom and authenticity.

General Counsellor, BSocSci Hons
The counselling relationship is a profound one, and I'd be honoured to be your partner in the process!
For all the beauty and joy that life has to offer, the modern world is a chaotic and frantic place. Dealing with rent; work; traffic; inflation; politics; existential anxiety etc., the average person has enough going on to warrant immense stress without even accounting for any of the other emergencies and crises that life throws at us. And even after putting a roof over one's head and food on the table, happiness and purpose can be more complex. Figuring out the next step forward can often seem impossible. My passion is in helping you to find the next step, and in helping you to develop the strategies and skills to keep doing so.

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside, while inside you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of trying to hold everything together. You may be navigating anxiety, grief, heartbreak, relationship struggles, a difficult transition, or questioning what you really want from your life. Therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. I offer a warm, honest and non-judgemental space where you don’t need to have the right words or all the answers. You can simply come as you are.
