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.
