About Me

I am a licensed psychologist and registered counsellor based in Paarl Worcester, Western Cape, South Africa. I assess and treat ADHD and mood disorders, conduct psycho-legal and child protection evaluations, and provide mediation and online therapy. I write clear reports for courts and agencies and give clients practical steps to manage symptoms and reach personal goals.

Approach

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and integrative. I draw from evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s unique needs, combining insight-oriented work with practical tools for everyday life. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, make sense of their experiences, and move toward meaningful change. I value authenticity, compassion, and empowering each individual to become an active participant in their healing journey.
