In my practice, I see clients from all walks of life, they often have one thing in common, trauma. Each individual’s experience with trauma is unique, just like our DNA is unique to us. There is no one size fits all method to unpacking and processing what has been traumatic to you. Therefore, it is a collaboration between myself, the counsellor and you, the client, to ensure that the therapeutic process is successful in reaching the goals you have set out to reach. Clients who want to gain control over disempowering moments and memories in a safe environment will feel at home in my office.

Taking the first step in your mental health is a brave venture. Finding the right therapist for this process is important. Therapeutic relationships should provide you with a sense of safety to explore the most vulnerable parts of you. In the words of Brené Brown "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."

I am a Registered Counsellor with the HPCSA (PRC 0041815) and have a special interest in working with trauma. I am passionate about helping those who feel overwhelmed by life. Often, we do not realise where these feelings of overwhelm originate from. And even if we know, we might need help to address them. Sometimes, overwhelm stems from our relationships, finances, parenting, health, career choices/work, and expectations regarding sports performance . At other times, we may have experienced a traumatic event. This might cause anxiousness, fearfulness, helplessness, restlessness, or an intense sense of feeling out of control.

My ideal client is someone who has a need for therapy, but may find it difficult to talk about their issues. Words may seem limited to describe what they feel inside of themselves. Child clients sometimes don't know or understand the extent of their unhappiness, or are too young to know that they are mentally and emotionally affected by circumstances. My ideal client is someone who suffers from trauma and early childhood wounding, or presents an array of other clinical presentations, including depression, anxiety disorders and much more. Clients seek therapy because they have a desire to be healed and emotionally be in balance.

Fairytales make you believe that love is easy. Typically there is a hero, a damsel, one fight, and then they live happily ever after.

Each stage of womanhood brings its challenges, whether facing doubts about yourself or relationships during young adulthood, the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, the fast-paced and competing demands of parenthood, balancing motherhood with making a living, or facing criticism, rejection, and self-doubt. We all have a deep need to find our true selves in the midst of this, to unpack what's amazingly unique and significant about ourselves. Becoming true to ourselves, learning to embrace all of life, the good and the bad, and then stepping into and owning your journey.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as 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 ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
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—both men and women—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.
