I specialise in seeing clients with ADHD (Children 6-12 years), Autism and Trauma (Trained in EMDR). However, I also am trained to assist with Depression, Anxiety and Stress. I prioritise diversity and inclusivity, fostering a nonjudgmental environment centred on clients’ individual experiences.
With expertise spanning depression, anxiety, and trauma, I employ proven methodologies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to aid clients in their healing journey. My therapeutic approach integrates mindfulness practices and extends support to all.
Fluent in Setswana and Kalanga, I extend therapy services in these languages, ensuring cultural sensitivity and accessibility. Email me to book your first session now!
