Afrikaans-Speaking Therapists in Observatory
Hi! I'm Jamie!
I believe that when we practice compassion, we can support the people around us.
This means that, within the counselling space I will approach you with openness and understanding. This will allow for the exploration of your personal experiences and the creation of a non-judgmental environment, filled with acceptance and empathy. In this space you will always be acknowledged, and recognize that you deserve to be seen, heard and cared for within a safe space.
I work from a systems approach- wherein various counseling techniques are utilized (specifically, the person-centered technique). I am also trained in ABA.

I work with individuals who are emotionally overwhelmed, highly self-aware but stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or people-pleasing. Many of my clients are navigating relationship stress, burnout, anxiety, or unprocessed experiences from their upbringing. They come to therapy seeking clarity, boundaries, emotional resilience, and a space to be themselves without judgment. My clients often say they want to understand why they feel the way they do — and how to finally feel in control of their lives again.

Life presents us all with challenges. You may be entering a new phase in your life. You may see repeated patterns that negatively impact you, your work and your relationships. Perhaps global crises have left you contemplating your identity and seeking meaning and purpose in your place in the world. You wish to make sense of the intersectional influences of belief, race, class or other systems and the accompanying feelings these evoke. However much (or little) you desire a change or a fresh perspective on life, it's natural to want someone to help you navigate the discomfort and achieve your goals.

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

You might be a child, adolescent, or adult who feels different, out of place, or unsure where you belong. Perhaps you’re navigating academic or occupational stress, identity questions, relationship struggles, neurodiversity, or the impact of trauma. You may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from yourself. You want clarity, steadiness, and a deeper understanding of who you are — and how to thrive in your environment without losing yourself.

At times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed. We may know what is causing unease or pain, but often we struggle to understand the cause. A therapy relationship at these times, can bring better understanding and help you think in new ways about yourself, your relationships and your journey forward.

My psychotherapeutic stance is accepting and judgment-free. The therapeutic relationship is essential in effective therapy. Based on this, it is crucially important to get to know my clients on a personal level, and for my clients to get to know me. I position myself alongside my clients to collaboratively formulate a focused treatment plan.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure why life feels harder than it seems to for others. They may be navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, providing a warm, supportive space to better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, build practical coping strategies, and move forward with greater confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.

Everybody faces challenges at different stages of life. Some greater than others. I am always amazed at the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. My aim is to help the client to focus on their strengths (rather than their weaknesses). Furthermore to capitalise on their strengths and to realise their full potential. In times of crisis people tend to forget that they have actually overcome so much in life already and given the support they need, they will be able continue to do so. My motto is: Never Give Up. Don’t underestimate yourself. There is always a Plan B!
