About Me
I am a qualified clinical psychologist, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I completed my academic and professional training in psychology through the University of Cape Town in 2014, followed by supervised clinical training in both hospital and community-based settings.
My experience includes working with individuals across diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, supporting a wide range of psychological needs—from acute emotional distress to longer-term personal development. This has allowed me to develop a flexible, culturally sensitive and trauma informed approach to therapy.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is integrative, thoughtful, and tailored to each individual. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches, allowing us to explore both present-day challenges and the deeper patterns that may be shaping your experiences.
In our work together, we may focus on understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, while also creating space to explore your history, relationships, and inner world. I believe that meaningful change comes not only from developing practical strategies, but also from gaining insight into yourself and your unique way of relating to the world.
Above all, I prioritise creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will work alongside you at a pace that feels comfortable—supporting both reflection and growth.
