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!

So many are carrying the heavy weight of grief, heartache, loss of connection and so much more. We feel isolated, forgotten, alone in our struggles and often punish ourselves for feeling broken and lost. But the truth is you are stronger than you think, braver than you know, and most certainly not alone. I help people like yourself reconnect with themselves and others, learn new and healthy ways to cope, and find their own way towards healing and meaning.

I work mainly in the field of neuropsychology, assisting people that have been affected by head injuries and neurology-related conditions. People experiencing changes in how their brains work - and those around them - navigate a grief process. Some reach a point of acceptance early on in their journeys, while others find themselves rooted in one of the stages of the journey. Wherever you find yourself, my role is to work with you to navigate your path toward healing. he end goal is not to help you control change, but to help you to empower yourself to make useful choices in how you respond to that change.

Hi, I'm Terry! I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Kenilworth and Seapoint. I aim to create an unconditional and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe enough to share your experiences as well as explore ways to work through them together. I work integratively based on your specific needs.

Life presents all of us with complex challenges which are sometimes difficult to manage. E.g. what may be troubling is a recent interpersonal difficulty, or perhaps something unpleasant has happened or is still happening in your workplace (or school/college/university). You may have lost someone you were close to, or perhaps you were the victim of a crime. Alternatively, what may be troubling may be of a more long-standing nature, causing unresolved unhappiness. Or you may feel that life could be more fulfilling than it has been up to now, that it could be a happier, richer experience, with a sense of more well-being and freedom.

Often we get stuck thinking that we have to 'do' life alone, we need to be strong and have it all together. Through the hardest moments in my life, I have grown the most and also learnt that I cannot do things on my own- the happiest and most successful people have many circles of support around them. I offer you a safe space in order to explore life challenges and transitions in a grounded and supported way. Challenges may include things such as exams, changing jobs, changing houses, losing a loved one, getting married, getting divorced and low self-esteem. Whatever your circumstances or stage, I offer emotional support.

On-line psychotherapy sessions. A safe space will be created in which clients can unload, share and heal from the effects of emotional turmoil and trauma.
