I am a HPCSA registered clinical psychologist practicing in Gardens, Cape Town.

Adults: I work individually with adults who might be feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope with difficulties that may be related to depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss or bereavement, relationship stress and life changes, including those brought on by chronic illness. I typically draw from either a Psychodynamic Perspective or from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach, depending on the specific needs of the client. Each session is collaborative with a specific focus on holding struggle with compassion and on gaining new insights that can lead to constructive changes and an alleviation of distress.
