About Me

I offer short and long-term therapy, providing a truly confidential and safe space for adolescents and adults. Here, all parts of your experience are welcome. We can gently explore challenges, make sense of difficult feelings, and find new ways to navigate life. My aim is to help you gain clarity and build resilience, whether you're facing immediate concerns or deeper patterns. This collaborative approach supports your unique journey towards understanding and growth.

Approach

Therapy here moves from attentive listening to clear, practical steps that help you notice patterns and try different responses. I meet English-speaking young people and adults in Cape Town and online across the Western Cape, with sessions paced to suit your rhythm and kept strictly confidential. Work typically blends gentle reflection, targeted problem-solving and simple tools informed by assessment when useful, plus brief between-session experiments to test what helps. This approach suits those wanting steadier coping, clearer thinking and manageable change.
