Hello, I’m Kyla, an Integrated Wellness Therapist. My expertise spans from Therapy, a background in Pharmacology, Psychology and Nutrition, while currently completing my Masters in Neuro Psychology, allowing me to provide a comprehensive approach to health, eating disorders, life-changes and mental health interventions.

I see clients who are looking to heal through a holistic approach to mental wellness. The clients that I see are choosing to heal themselves and recreate themselves after divorce/breakups, co-dependency or abusive relationships. Some of my clients are doing the re-parenting in wellness program and finding direction and meaning again. They are building their self esteem as well as gaining deeper insight into who they are, why they have the patterns they have and how to replace them with healthier ones. Together we focus on breaking toxic cycles and rewriting your narrative.

I work in a multi-disciplinary practice and offer services in English and Afrikaans. I draw on a variety of therapy models to facilitate growth and healing in a safe and compassionate therapeutic space. My special interests are couples counseling and adult individual therapy.

Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

Seeking psychological services can be a confusing and daunting experience however I aim to provide a safe, empathic, non-judgmental and collaborative therapeutic environment where we work together in gaining insight into your difficulties and experiences; and carve out space for healing, growth, fulfilment and meaning in your life.
