Compassionate Counselling & Psychometric Services

Professional, Personalised Mental Health Support

About

Welcome, and thank you for considering my services. I am a qualified counsellor, registered with the Council for Counsellors South Africa, and a psychometrist in independent practice, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I have been actively involved in the field of psychology since 2007 and bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the challenges faced by those navigating mental health difficulties.

Having worked across diverse environments — including private practice, inpatient psychiatric facilities and alongside experienced psychologists — I have had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of ages and socio-economic backgrounds. This professional path, along with personal experience, allows me to approach each individual with empathy, insight and respect for their unique therapeutic journey.

I hold a BPsych Equivalent qualification as well as Honours degrees from the University of Natal (UN) and the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP). I believe that every client’s experience is distinct and that effective treatment requires a flexible, client-centred approach tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Services

Counselling for Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are often deeply intertwined, creating cycles of distress that can feel overwhelming. Whether symptoms have arisen due to life circumstances or underlying health factors, counselling can help you break the cycle and rebuild hope and resilience. I work from a biopsychosocial perspective, integrating your physical, emotional and social realities into a therapeutic plan designed to support real change.

Trauma and PTSD Counselling

Trauma is a profound response to events that overwhelm our ability to cope — whether sudden, prolonged, or complex. Left unaddressed, trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), manifesting as flashbacks, sleep disturbance, emotional detachment, hypervigilance, and persistent fear or sadness. My approach creates a safe space to process traumatic experiences, with therapy adapted to your pace and needs.

Eating Disorders Support

Eating disorders can affect anyone — regardless of gender, age or cultural background. Whether the concern is Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Binge Eating Disorder, these conditions are serious and often misunderstood. Therapy helps uncover the psychological and social influences beneath disordered eating, while creating healthy strategies for recovery. My approach carefully balances compassion and evidence-based treatment.

Grief and Loss Counselling

Loss is a universal part of life, but coping with it can feel isolating and overwhelming. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or major life changes such as relocation or retirement, counselling can offer space for reflection and healing. I offer support through all stages of grief, helping you navigate the complex emotions associated with change and loss, at your own pace.

Additional Information

I am dedicated to creating a professional, empathetic, and confidential environment where clients feel heard and empowered. I believe that it is a privilege to support others on their mental health journey, and I treat every client interaction with the utmost care.

If you are ready to begin your journey toward improved emotional wellbeing, resilience and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and book an appointment.
