Mutual respect is one of the qualities I regard as an important element of the therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with adults (men and woman) from any cultural background. Languages I am proficient in includes Afrikaans and English. We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

Life stressors seem to be amplified at the moment, while anxiety and depression are on the rise. Issues of mental health do not have to be dealt with on one's own. A psychotherapy process can offer support by exploring issues, unlearning destructive patterns and creatively replacing them with ones that promote well-being.

You look successful on the outside, yet find yourself repeating the same pattern in private. Alcohol, drugs, pornography, gambling, or behaviours you keep promising yourself you'll change. You've stopped before, sometimes many times. The problem is rarely willpower alone. I help adults struggling with addiction, trauma, and repeated relapse understand what drives the cycle and build recovery that lasts. Drawing on professional training and over 20 years of personal recovery experience, I combine counselling, recovery coaching, relapse prevention, and trauma-informed approaches to support lasting change.

I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, and I work with individuals navigating trauma, addiction, abuse, depression, grief, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties and significant life transitions.

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.

Are you suffering from feelings of low self-esteem, loneliness or anxiety? Feeling emotional for no reason, as if you just don't fit in, misunderstood or isolated? Do you feel tired and unable to keep up with your daily routine, challenged by incongruency regarding your sexual identity, relationship difficulties and/or adjusting to life changes?
Would you like to talk to someone likeminded where you can feel free to speak your mind? These issues are usually catalysts to dysfunctional relationships, stress and feelings of helplessness. Speaking to a Therapist is the first step towards improving your mental health.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
