I am a counsellor and therapist in private practice, both online and in-person. I studied medicine first, at the University of Cape Town (MBChB). This left me yearning for a deeper way to help, outside of the traditional medical model. Following my medical studies I trained further in person-centred counselling. I now practice counselling and therapy exclusively, in private practice. I am guided by the person-centred approach, developed by American Psychologist Carl Rogers. I am open to brief 15-minute sessions if you would like to meet me and feel it out before committing to sessions.
What to expect / how I work
My work is person-centred, that is, I am most interested in your particular experience, as a person of irreducible dignity, worth, and vitality. Our relationship is one between two persons, but one in which I, as the therapist, am consistent in my care and commitment. Some clients speak for the full hour, barely catching a breath, while others struggle to speak at all. All is welcome, and this is in fact a core principle of my work- that you are unconditionally accepted.
