About Me

This clinical psychologist helps individuals explore the deeper roots of their challenges. They offer time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy for specific concerns, or longer-term psychoanalytic work for profound self-understanding. Clients seeking to make sense of enduring patterns find a supportive space to foster lasting change. For fellow professionals, remote supervision is also available, providing valuable guidance and insight.

Approach

Helping you trace recurring patterns to their origins shapes how I work: sessions are attentive and paced to your needs, whether we meet in Durban or online in English. I combine careful listening with gentle, focused reflection, linking present difficulties—relationship ruptures, anxiety or addictive urges—to earlier experiences so you can test new responses between meetings. Many adolescents and adults seeking clearer sense-making and steadier relationships find this approach practical and sustaining.
