I am passionate about supporting clients
to discover hope.
I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and have over 11 years’ experience as a psychologist. In my practice I consult with student, adults and teenagers over the age of 16 about a range of problems that may urge them to seek psychotherapy.
I provide short and longer term individual therapy in English and Afrikaans. Common problems addressed include:
Anxiety: Panic attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalised anxiety (GAD) and phobias
Depression
Exposure to traumatic experiences, debriefing and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Adjustment problems: after divorce; bereavement and other losses; living with a serious medical condition.
Stress and burnout
Aggression and anger management
Personal growth and development
Psychotherapy Approach
I’m passionate about people’s ability to reclaim their lives from problems and discover their preferred ways of living. It’s a privilege to be a witness to clients unfolding stories. I create a safe space for clients to discover what they prefer for their life and support them in taking steps that create this preferred reality. I view my role as a collaborative partner working with clients to improve their mental health.
I obtained my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with distinction at the North-West University. I worked for the Defence force for the first few years after qualifying and here developed an interest in treating trauma through working with military personnel. Hereafter I was employed by the University of Stellenbosch and provided psychotherapy to students, including those at Tygerberg medical campus. I developed a passion for supporting medical health professionals in psychotherapy.
I have also received training in BWRT, Resource therapy, TRE (Trauma and tension release exercises) and EMDR. Furthermore I draw from Solution focused therapy, Narrative therapy and CBT principles in my approach to therapy. I work eclectically by selecting therapeutic tools based on the individual’s unique needs.

Cash consultations are charged at Medical Aid rates and is R1060 for 2022. I offer a discounted rate for 4 or more sessions – please enquire for more information.
Medical aids claims:
Where applicable, sessions can be funded by your medical aid via your savings or Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB). I am registered with the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) and most medical aids.
It is important that clients liaise with their medical aid to find out about available benefits. The practice is able to submit claims directly to medical aids.
Please note that not all diagnoses are covered by medical aid PMB’s and that your psychologist will first need to do an assessment before determining whether applying for PMB is indicated.
