About Me

Drawing on 56 years dedicated to supporting individuals and couples, I offer a deeply grounded space. I specialise in helping clients find clarity amidst crisis, trauma, lgbtiq+ concerns, grief, and addiction. My extensive experience extends to human rights, gender, and sexuality, ensuring a truly inclusive approach. For urgent needs, I offer emergency and after-hours availability, providing consistent support when it matters most. Here, you'll find a compassionate and knowledgeable guide.

Approach

Steadiness shapes how the work unfolds: sessions are paced to match urgency or quiet, shifting between immediate safety and slower meaning-making. I offer in-person meetings in Cape Town and secure English-language online sessions, with after-hours support reserved for pressing needs. We use grounded, practical steps—breath and body regulation, clear crisis planning, narrative reflection and task-focused experiments between sessions—to stabilize distress and build new patterns. This approach tends to suit adults navigating loss, identity questions, relationship strain or recovery from overwhelming events.
