“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” (C.S Lewis) To reach out to a psychologist might feel scary and overwhelming but it might also be one of the bravest things you can do! I am willing to take your hand through your difficulty, and allow you space to talk, to be, to vent and to ask the questions you are so afraid to answer alone. Sometimes therapy can be challenging, maybe overwhelming and at times difficult, but you are not alone and in the end I hope that you can say “it was worth it all”. May this be a meaningful experience for you.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with specialisation in child and adolescent psychology. I am committed to promoting well-being in children, adolescents, and families. I work from a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, which includes a focus on attachment and meeting clients at their basic need of safety and security. I use Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) as part of my intervention for trauma, anxiety, and grief. BWRT is a technique that harnesses the brain's ability to rewire itself. It helps individuals process and reframe traumatic experiences more effectively.

I am counselling psychologist practicing in Bloemfontein, Ficksburg and Clocolan. As we know life can present with various challenges (challenges with work, relationships, health, identify, trauma etc.) and some of those challenges are connected to the past. Being in therapy can be a great way to make sense of your experience, gain insight, grow and heal. When I work with individuals in therapy I incorporate their culture and spirituality in my treatment because our lives are part of so much more. I offer psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe ‘the life you want is on the other side of seeking help’.

My aim is to provide an empathic and comfortable environment that enables you as client to engage in self exploration and self-understanding. Often, I feel that the challenges or symptoms we experience tip our lives out of balance. Providing you with the necessary tools and knowledge to regain balance and work towards sustainable change and a more fulfilling life remains a fundamental goal. My experiences include a variety of therapeutic frameworks (i.e., Schema therapy, CBT and DBT) and thus prefer to work from an integrative perspective.

There is an innate responsiveness to music in human beings. We all respond to rhythm, melody, and harmony regardless of physical or mental disability, injury, or illness. Using music, we creatively build a bridge between what we feel inside, and what we vibrate into the world. Music therapy creates opportunities for connections with self and others.

Your ideal client is someone who feels they have lost control in some aspect of their life, whether it be emotional control or control over their environment. Recognising that a lack of control can lead to unhappiness, you aim to help these individuals regain a sense of control. Through our work together, we focus on identifying the areas where they feel powerless and develop strategies to restore their sense of agency, ultimately improving their overall well-being.

I have a natural passion for working with people of all ages. I firmly believe that each person's mental health should be a priority and that each person has the capacity to grow. My hope is that every individual will value themselves enough to choose the chance to change and fight for what is important to them.

As we move through life, we are often faced with many challenges and sometimes even moments that turn our lives upside down. Traumatic events and distressing experiences often leave us feeling lost, defeated and unsure. Everyone deals with these situations in their own way. At times, we are able to manage and cope rather well however, some challenges and tragedies can start to feel overwhelming and hard to cope with on our own. I know what it’s like to be caught in turbulent times. That is why I put my heart and soul into helping individuals make sense of these moments, put their life back together and find contentment and purpose.
