Marriage Counselling Therapists in Cape Town
“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or “when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another” - Carl R. Rogers.

I am a couples counsellor working in-person from my practice in Tamboerskloof.
Couple work can involve tricky, heated or tiring conversations. It's my job to create an environment in which these can be productive. I want to understand each person's experience clearly, so they feel understood. There are also some fundamental principles that help most couples gain clarity and find some relief - these I will share with you.

I have experience with teens, individuals, and couples.
Change happens when we feel safe enough to set down the weight of expectations and look honestly at the parts of our lives that no longer fit. I work with individuals who are navigating the heavy terrain of grief, the exhaustion of burnout, or the complex layers of trauma and identity. In our sessions, I offer a grounded, collaborative space where curiosity replaces criticism. Whether we are untangling relationship patterns or navigating a life transition, my focus is on helping you find a sense of internal clarity and steadiness. Through our work, we'll move towards deeper self-understanding and values-driven actions.

Individual sessions are R450 and couples sessions are R500 and I provide a sliding scale to help make therapy affordable.
My ideal client feels emotionally overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from themselves, despite appearing to cope on the outside. They may be navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or work-related stress and feel unsure of their next steps. They seek a safe, non-judgemental space to feel heard, gain clarity, and develop emotional balance. Their goal is to reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and move forward with greater self-trust and calm.
