About Me
I am a Counselling Psychologist in private practice, with 47 years’ therapeutic experience. I am registered with the Health Professions
Counsel of South Africa and am committed to stay abreast of the latest and most applicable evidence based therapeutic approaches. My most important motivation is to support individuals through life’s challenges and fostering personal growth and flourishing despite possible challenges of mood disorders, ADHD, OCD or being neurodiverse. I value confidentiality and integrity. I believe that the empathic relationship between the Psychologist and the client, forms the basis that gives the client the necessary safety to explore the possible barriers to growth and healing. The clients’ goas for seeking help, are always
the point of departure.
My Approach
I believe in creating a safe, confidential, and
non-judgemental environment where clients feel heard and empowered. My practice
integrates various therapeutic modalities tailored to the unique needs of each
person, ensuring holistic and effective care.
I am also registered with the The Association of Christian
Religious Practitioners and the Council for Pastoral and Spiritual Counsellors
as a Religious Specialist.
I believe that the added layer of Spiritual
integration into the therapeutic approach, is important for the holistic development
of the person.
I integrate the knowledge of self-directed neuroplasticity
with the Spiritual aspects. Depending on the client’s needs, goals and present
situation, I can adjust the therapeutic approach to apply the principles of
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or CBT from a Christian perspective.
Many of my clientele prefer the added value of a Christian approach to the therapeutic process.
