I graduated with my Masters in Community-based Counselling Psychology from the University
of the Witwatersrand in 2013. Being a psychologist these past years has been a profound
journey of self-development, growth, enlightenment and alignment. My training, work
experiences as well as the diversity of clients I have encountered has made for a deep sense of
peace, ease, and a feeling of home in the engagement with the work I do each day. I seek to
afford my clients the same sense of peace and ease in our sessions together.
I have worked in university, school, and corporate settings, dealing with presenting problems
including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment, stress, marital
problems, family and other relational problems, and academic challenges. I have been trained
in a range of therapeutic approaches including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural
therapy (CBT), person centred as well as solution-focused therapy. I am an integrative therapist
fusing techniques from different psychotherapeutic modalities to mould the best approach in
meeting each client's needs. My work is, however, predominantly informed by Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centred Therapy.
Therapy is work and can be challenging. You unearth and meet hidden or buried parts of
yourself often for the first time. It is an immensely transformative and liberating journey
birthed from awareness and understanding. A lot of our work is in providing you a comforting
space to reflect on your experiences as well as your thoughts and emotions. I seek to enlighten
you on the inner workings of your mind, and help you gain perspective on the challenges you
may be experiencing. My disposition is to explore, conscientize you to, and gently challenge the
ways in which you have become accustomed to think and perceive. In addition to encouraging
you to experiment with specific coping skills that may be beneficial to your particular journey. I
also have a passion for the body of work in self-compassion and approach the work we do in
garnering a compassionate outlook on all of who you are.
