I am a counselling psychologist in Pretoria East in private practice at Satori Health Centre.  I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, groups and couples with a variety of difficulties and life challenges.  I am interested in the human condition and the challenges, limitations and potentials inherent.  I believe therapy should be a collaborative process in which space is created for the individual to explore the aspects of their individual human experience in order for transformation to occur.

​

I prefer a non-pathologising and strength affirming approach wherein the individual's internal and external world is explored to discover meaning and purpose and to create balance.  I aim to find solutions and I believe these solutions are to be found within the individual.

 

I mainly work from a psychodynamic  approach with a special interest in Jungian psychology, attachment theory and existential psychology.  My focus is holistic which means an important part of therapy is to engage and develop the person as a whole - incorporating the emotional, social, physical, cultural and spiritual dimensions.
