I am a Registered Counsellor in private practice, in Rondebosch in Cape Town’s southern suburbs. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed therapeutic environment for adolescents, young adults and adults who are experiencing difficulties with life challenges and transitions, and/or mental ill-health. This may show up as a sense of feeling stressed and/or overwhelmed with symptoms of anxiety/panic, sadness/depression, grief and anger. Within a collaborative, in-person or online space, it becomes possible to assess, regroup and move forward. With a background in education, business and research, I follow an integrative, strengths-based approach to achieve meaningful change, personal development and enhanced wellbeing. This may include psychoeducation, skills for coping and talk therapy. CBT, BWRT, TRE and trauma-informed, mindfulness-based interventions(MBIs) are modalities which I may use during this process. I have been a counsellor since 2009 and HPCSA registered since 2013. I have completed additional post graduate (PG) training in mindfulness interventions and research and during this time, developed mindfulness-based self care workshops for students. On a personal note, I enjoy daily walks, swimming in the sea (unfortunately, not daily!) and long-distance walking over a period of days. Practice No: 081 000 0515 396 HPCSA: PRC 0021350
