About Me

With over twenty years dedicated to community mental health, I offer compassionate psychotherapy and Counseling. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, helping them navigate life’s challenges. My approach blends deep exploration with practical strategies, drawing on extensive experience. I provide support whether you are in a hospital, recovery centre, or community setting. This makes me a good match for those seeking grounded, empathetic guidance to foster resilience.

Approach

Passion for community work shapes a practical, safety-first rhythm in sessions. Whether meeting in Mutare or online in English, I create steady, paced appointments that begin with clear goals and simple coping steps, then open space for deeper story and relational patterns. Between sessions I offer brief check-ins and practical tasks that tie therapy to daily life, and in hospital or recovery settings I coordinate gently with other caregivers to keep care consistent. People facing loss, addiction, relational strain or life change often find this steady, collaborative approach grounding and useful.
