About Me

As an experienced psychotherapist, I help individuals explore their challenges. I thoughtfully blend modern clinical psychology with traditional healing systems. This unique approach offers a deeper, more culturally resonant path to understanding and well-being. If you are seeking therapy that honours diverse perspectives, we can work together. Sessions connect with your holistic self, allowing ancient wisdom to support your contemporary growth.

Approach

I invite clients to translate culturally rooted practices into clear, session-sized experiments that address patterns formed around abuse and addiction. In my Durban practice, offered in English, isiXhosa and isiZulu, sessions pace gently—sometimes attuned to silence and trust, sometimes direct and skill-focused—to match what feels safest. We map triggers, rehearse new responses, and I support practical safety planning and advocacy between meetings, using storytelling or ritual where it steadies progress. Adults seeking culturally respectful, pragmatic change often find this way of working helpful.
