One always assumes that counselling is for those who are facing hardships. I believe that it is so much more than that. It’s about sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly in a safe and confidential space. I hope to be that lifeline and source of motivation for you, no matter what the circumstances. I am registered with the HPCSA as a Registered Counsellor and adhere to there ethical standards and code of conduct.

I trust in the innate ability of an individual to heal and restore its vitality. Together we will assess your overall health and well-being (or lack thereof), identifying what is required for your healing and growth and then we will work towards the restoration of the organic soul-mind-body-environmental system through integration, connection and restorative practices. I love to equip people with the skills and tools to sustain them on their journey in becoming their own medicine.

Therapy has several health benefits which helps people discover healthier habits and life patterns on a biological and mental level. Most people seek therapy when their coping skills fail or they experience life changing circumstances and require professional assistance in breaking away from negative or problematic habits to become a more aware version of themselves. As therapy is a conscious choice to learn healthier habits and coping mechanisms within a supportive, non- judgmental environment where your conversations remain confidential, you are able to resolve issues and learn new techniques to have a more satisfied life journey.

Seeking counselling can feel overwhelming, but I want you to know that you're not alone on this journey. I believe that the foundation of healing lies in the therapeutic relationship - it is a space built on trust, compassion, and understanding. Each person has within them the ability to heal and grow, and this process begins from within. It’s about reconnecting with ourselves through mind, heart, and intuition. By cultivating self-compassion and a gentle curiosity toward our own experiences, we start to discover a deeper sense of self, which allows us to embrace a new way of being - led by our true, compassionate selves.

My work focusses on clients who are struggling with the effects of childhood abuse and trauma as well as the emotional effects related to narcissistic abuse, past or present. I provide a space for clients to feel safe and to allow them to loosen their defences they needed to protect themselves and to understand their inner world and change old repetitive and obstructive patterns of being and relating. My focus is in working with young and older adults. I also include expressive therapy approaches, where needed, as a means to access emotions and experiences that are difficult to verbalise.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
