I believe that people can overcome difficult circumstances. We never, ever have to stay where we are. My life story is a testimony of restoration and healing. Sometimes we just need someone to come alongside of us to help us see the open doors and realise that our mountains are not that big. I also believe in a systemic approach. We are made up of our past and our present, we are body soul and spirit and we find ourselves in living breathing systems – families, marriages, friendship circles and workplaces. All of these influence our thinking and our believing. This is where a second pair of eyes – that of the counselor – can be so helpful. Counseling is not fixing. Counseling is helping a client dig deep into their own set of resources to find their own solutions.

A mediator is not a judge or a referee, but an impartial and objective facilitator helping families find bespoke solutions when in conflict. Mediation is the foundation of building lasting relationships. I have a heart for families to live in peace and believe that through mediation we can find a way to live a peaceful life regardless of what our family set-up looks like. Whether we are dealing with the trauma of divorce or that of a family dispute, through listening and unconditional regard, together we can find a better way forward.

Practice Manager
I am married to a wonderful English man & have two beautiful adult children. God has given me a gift of creativity & the opportunity to co-create with the Creator of all, which is simply mind-blowing. My desire is to co-create with Him through the power of the Holy Spirit to guide others in revealing, reflecting & releasing His image, nature & presence in a healing creative way, through different art mediums. Guiding others to see that creativity is not about perfection but about enjoyment while discovering & healing, is pure joy.

Throughout our lives we may be faced with many difficulties. It is my belief that, by facing these difficult personal experiences in a supportive environment, we can grow into psychologically resilient individuals that can overcome challenges and live purposeful lives. The counselling process ultimately aims to both guide us through these challenges and help us develop the capacity to withstand these psychological stressors. I make use of evidence-based interventions to foster psychological flexibility which enables us to process and integrate past experiences, and function in the present in ways that align with our purpose. By looking at thoughts, emotions and behaviours, we are able to engage with the present moment to accept negative personal experiences and commit to ways of acting in the world that aligns with who we are.
How We Work
Some frequently asked questions
Sessions for individuals are usually 60 minutes. Children’s sessions are about 45 minutes. Couples and family counseling sessions can take a bit longer and last anything form 60 – 90 minutes.
Treatment plans depend on the individual needs of the client. We often recommend 4 sessions to gather information and to formulate themes to be looked at. Further sessions can then be negotiated and if necessary a referral will be made.
We work holistically and believe in psycho-education helping the client gain insight into self as well as the challenges they are facing. We will facilitate the process of understanding triggers, look at poor coping mechanisms as well as how to set goals to achieve a positive outcome.
We are contracted to the Board of Health Care funders. If your medical aid plan supports counseling or you have a savings plan, you will be able to claim from your medical aid.
We are not qualified to prescribe medicine. Should you feel it is necessary we will refer you to an appropriate specialist.
We can refer clients for admissions however we will first put the client in contact with a clinical psychologist to handle the admission. A multidisciplinary team will work with the client at the clinic.
