A competent, compassionate and experienced professional with a special interest in in-depth psychoanaytic psychotherapy. I work with adults as well as moms with newborn babies. Online therapy offered.

About Me

This experienced Clinical Psychologist offers in-depth psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults seeking profound self-understanding. They provide a compassionate space to explore underlying emotional patterns and past experiences. Special support is available for mothers navigating the unique challenges of having a newborn. Sessions are designed to help clients make sense of complex feelings, fostering lasting change. Online therapy ensures accessible, consistent support from anywhere.

Approach

Working with adults and new mothers, I guide sessions gently yet rigorously, helping you trace emotional threads that shape present struggles. I am based in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, offering both in person and online appointments. Therapy suits adults seeking deeper self-understanding, as well as parents navigating the early months of caregiving.
