About Me

I am a person-centred therapist with a trauma-informed perspective. I use a race, culture, sexuality, and gender-affirming approach in all of my work. Since 2015, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate counselling services to individuals dealing with challenging life experiences. My primary goal is the well-being of my clients. I work closely with each individual to help them navigate through their obstacles and achieve a sense of personal growth and peace. Whether you are facing personal difficulties or seeking emotional guidance, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Services Offered

Individual and Group Counselling
I provide both individual and group counselling to address a variety of emotional and psychological concerns. In a safe and supportive environment, you can work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Group counselling is also available for those who benefit from shared experiences and support from others.

Life Skills and Development Training
As a trainer and course facilitator, I offer life skills and development training. This includes courses on personal growth, counselling skills, and probationer training. These courses are designed to enhance emotional resilience, improve communication skills, and support overall personal development.

Psychological Assessments
I offer a range of psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. These assessments include academic guidance and career counselling, aptitude tests, personality assessments, and school readiness reporting. The goal of these assessments is to provide individuals with the insight needed to make informed decisions about their academic and career paths.

Play Therapy for Children
I offer play therapy as an effective treatment for younger clients. Through play, children can express their emotions and work through challenging experiences in a non-verbal way. Play therapy helps children process trauma, anxiety, and other emotional struggles in a safe environment.

Couples Counselling
Couples counselling is designed to help partners work through conflicts, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Whether dealing with marital issues, communication breakdowns, or external stressors, couples therapy can help you reconnect and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Each session involves collaborative efforts, helping both partners to understand each other’s perspectives and develop strategies for improving their relationship.

Psycho-Education and Training
I provide psycho-education and training on various psychological topics, including trauma recovery, substance abuse, and mental health awareness. This education aims to increase understanding and provide practical tools for coping with life’s challenges.

Additional Information

Telehealth Options Available
For your convenience, I offer online therapy sessions. These sessions allow you to access professional support from the comfort of your own home. Whether you are unable to attend in-person sessions due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons, online therapy offers the flexibility you need to prioritise your mental health.

Support for Students and Academic Professionals
I provide support for students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in Pietermaritzburg, offering personal counselling, career assessments, degree planning, and academic support. I also provide developmental workshops, support groups, and advocacy for students navigating academic and psychosocial challenges.

Special Interests
My work focuses on trauma, substance abuse recovery, gender and sexuality questioning, and couples counselling. I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. I believe in empowering clients to embrace their authentic selves and achieve a sense of emotional and psychological well-being.
