I offer online counselling in the following areas: Trauma - current and childhood; Loss and Grief, Sports Counselling; Addiction; Abuse and Neglect; Wellness and Mindfulness; Self-Esteem and Self-Worth; Survivors of Sexual Abuse.
Oftentimes the world around us is chaotic and turbulent. More often than not, this turbulence from the outside spills into our own personal lives, and influences our daily life in a plethora of ways. It can be difficult to keep the chaos at bay, and the management of such can often be overwhelming. Whether it is to gain a sense of control over our lives, build on our self-esteem, manage our emotions and daily functioning, the world of counselling is a rewarding and fulfilling journey, which is pathed by making use of your inner strengths and goals, one story at a time.

I enjoy assisting people to realize their full potential. This may mean they are currently struggling with issues or trauma and need to be guided through the healing process. Alternatively, they are not currently living up to their potential and we will work together to assist them in unlocking their true capabilities.

Every one of us is a professional athlete, intent on achieving personal greatness, whether this entails a balanced lifestyle, a more fulfilling relationship, a new business venture, a career change or promotion at work, retirement, an investment portfolio, the birth of a child, rehabilitation following surgery, diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition, an exercise programme or a goal in sport at any level. All aspects of life that we experience as intrinsically meaningful require that we feel in control, committed to goals, confident in our abilities and skills, perceiving challenges as opportunities for growth and success.

Is it really work if one loves what they do? The reason I became a Social Worker was because I never wanted to work a day in my life but to love what I do. It has always been my desire to help people find solutions to their life problems and I sought for a profession that covered all aspects of human behaviour, i. e psychology, sociology, culture, spiritual & therapy. Now 13 years later, I have never looked back. My experience with clients from diverse backgrounds has been a humbling journey not to mention fulfilling. I continue to hone my craft through continuous professional development to remain relevant to my clients.

It is safer for many people to hide who they really are in order not to feel vulnerable to the world and others, it is a way of protecting themselves from being hurt. Despite this, it is still very painful when we are not known or seen by others. We really want to be found, to be understood and to be loved by others.

I am a Counselling Psychologist situated in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, in close proximity to the areas of Rosebank and Sandton. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families addressing current challenges with a Solution Focused approach. These challenges may include some more common complaints such as depression and anxiety, or those trying to come to terms with a trauma or bereavement. My approach is focused and therefore short-term in nature. As such long term time commitments is uncommon. I hope this can help people achieve significant change whilst offering them a more cost effective therapeutic approach.

Sports Performance Counsellors

How does sports psychology work?

Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualisation, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?

The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?

Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?

Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
