I see adult individuals and couples for both shorter- and longer-term therapy.
We all have habitual ways of responding to what happens in our lives. These patterns were often shaped by our experiences; both more recent events and those we experienced in childhood. We learn to survive. At times our old ways of coping become less functional as our lives and circumstances change and it becomes necessary pause and re-evaluate. Often this is a point where someone feels very stuck or overwhelmed and they need the support of a therapist. Let me help you connect, grow and heal.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and move forward. I provide a warm, supportive environment where we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and find practical ways to cope. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength as you have admitted that you need assistance. I provide a safe space, where you can feel heard and understood. I am a big advocate for mental health and breaking the stigma. My services are also offered in Afrikaans. My dienste is ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans.

On the surface, it seems like things are okay. Objectively you have the things that society says is suppose to make you happy - yet you are not happy. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and dissatisfaction. No matter what you do, or force yourself to do, you just don't find it in anything. The last time you felt true joy was as a child on the playground. It seems as if though everyone around you is doing extremely well, so what is wrong with you for not feeling the same. This feeling is more common than you think. You are not as alone as you might think.

I offer Couples & Family therapy as well as parenting support for managing teen challenging behaviour.
What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflect my life and work philosophy. The goal of my approach is the long-term alleviation of distress & suffering. Immediately after a session clients will often feel hopeful and their mood lifts. Thereafter they return to the same home or work environment which maintains the stress and they may feel exactly the same. CBT and DBT provide strategies for longer term relief and successful management of difficulties. Together we will focus on adjusting thoughts, working through difficult emotions, and changing self-defeating behaviours.

I support individuals and families who are struggling with issues such as internal conflicts, low mood, life sudden changes, grief, anxious feelings, family conflicts, couples/marriage counselling and suicidal thoughts.
I provide a space for personal reflection in order to optimize personal development and to minimize unproductive thought processes. I understand that taking a first step towards healing is often not easy. However, walking the journey of self-discovery with a caring person makes a huge difference.

As a Specialist Counsellor and Life Coach, I support individuals and couples facing anxiety, relationship challenges, ADHD, and general life stress with practical strategies and genuine care.
My ideal client is someone who has never had an easy start in life. They’ve faced challenge after challenge and often feel like life has dealt them an unfair hand. This has left them with a negative mindset at times, expecting things to always be tough. And yet — there is a part of them that refuses to give up. Despite the obstacles, they keep moving forward, even when it’s hard. Their goal is to shift their mindset, to see situations differently and to believe in the possibility of change. They know that cultivating a more positive outlook is the foundation for greater resilience, success, and a life that finally feels lighter.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
