About Me

As an HPCSA registered psychologist, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space in Durban North where we can explore what truly matters to you. Together, we will gently uncover the barriers hindering your progress, always focusing on your hopes and dreams. Through our relational work, we will identify patterns and develop practical insights. This collaborative approach helps you move toward your goals with greater clarity.

Approach

With your hopes and goals as our compass, sessions move at a gentle, practical pace where curiosity and honesty guide each step. In my Durban North consulting room or online, we attend to felt experience and recurring patterns, often setting simple between-session experiments to try different ways of coping. When working with anxiety, grief, addiction or relationship strain I pair careful assessment with collaborative planning so you can notice small shifts and build sustainable routines. Those who want clear, compassionate structure tend to find this way of working helpful.
