I am a couples counsellor working in-person from my practice in Tamboerskloof.
Couples might arrive when something big has happened in the relationship, they sense a troubling distance growing between them or they are fighting non-stop and can't work out how to change. I help couples to formulate exactly what is going on and put in place new ways of speaking and listening to one another. I strive to be neutral, compassionate and honest.

I believe counselling can benefit everyone. We all face challenges that can feel overwhelming, whether it’s managing work-related stress, finding balance in daily life, coping with grief, or addressing the impact of past experiences that continue to resurface. Life is complex, and clients often bring a range of concerns. Counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore these experiences and to gain insight into the patterns that shape our lives. Together, we work on reflection, open conversation, and new perspectives all of which lie at the heart of the healing process.

As an HPCSA- registered Drama Therapist I facilitate a non-judgmental and confidential space where equal attention is given to the body, heart, mind and soul. Arts processes such as images and stories give shape and form to things that are difficult to talk about or to discover new insight in old patterns. Our work is about looking at all the parts that make up the Self, both the healthy ones and the hurting ones. By making space and engaging with these parts we get to better understand ourselves and connect with who we truly are. Arts activities are invited sensitively and when it feels appropriate – no awkward role-plays!

I work with adults and couples, with a particular focus on the nervous system.
Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Often, these experiences are not signs of weakness, but reflections of a nervous system that has been under strain for a long time.

In a world where it so often feels as though our stories are written for us, it may become hard to believe that we have the power to change our narratives. Yet, I believe that psychotherapy allows us to do that. I aim to provide a safe, trusting and compassionate environment in which clients of all ages may explore who they are, process pain, hurt, and loss, attain different perspectives, access previously unknown resources and build specific skills to help them navigate circumstances.

The clients who enjoy working with me are usually interested in an approach that looks beyond the simple management of symptoms and the accompanying diagnosis. They enjoy a space that attempts to hold the complexities and contradictions of life and how we go about pursuing the things we want from it. If you are looking for a less conventional approach to therapy, based on methods from secular Buddhism, Existential Philosophy, and Psychoanalysis, then you may enjoy this kind of therapeutic relationship.

Transgender Counsellors
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
