Registered Psychological Counsellor
Healing begins when you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with your strengths, process challenges, and work toward meaningful change. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth, resilience, and renewal, and I am here to walk alongside you as you rediscover and strengthen these inner resources. I have a strong passion for trauma work and use Somatic Experiencing (SE), a gentle body-oriented therapy, alongside CBT, DBT, EMI and Resource Therapy. I am part of the organising team that brought Somatic Experiencing training to South Africa, reflecting my commitment to trauma-informed practice. These approaches help release stress, process difficult experiences, and restore balance. My experience spans across private practice, corporate, schools and non-profit settings, supporting adults and adolescents with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns.
