I am a clinical psychologist registered with the health professions council of South
Africa (HPCSA). I have over 12 years of training in the psychology field. I worked in
the psychology department at Dr George Mukharhi Academic Hospital, Helen
Joseph Hospital, Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital, Rearabilwe Child and Youth
Care Centre, Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre, and Atteridgeville Gender
Responsive Centre For Women.
I have a vast experience working with individuals, children, couples, families, and
various groups. The common issues addressed include; depression, anxiety,
adjustment challenges, building self-esteem, grief, relationship problems
(communication, conflict resolution, pre-marital counselling, re-building trust and
more), family difficulties (adjusting to life changing events – new marriage/young
children/teenagers, dealing with medical or psychological illness in the family,
conflict resolution, substance abuse, divorce, trauma, empty nest, etc.) conduct
problems, and more.
My approach to therapy is integrated. It includes person-centered therapy,
cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, systemic family therapy,
and strategic family therapy. All therapies applied to any singular case are
tailored to meet the individual’s unique needs.
I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your inner
conflicts, psychological distress, and gain clarity and mastery. I aim to assist
clients clarify and accept emotional problems, understand the root of their
difficulties and gain mastery over them, as well as obtain insight into their
behavioural patterns that maintain their psychological challenges. All this is to
facilitate a move towards acceptance, modification, and change. An emotional
crisis could very well be a turning point in a client’s life where they can choose to
either move forward to backward.
