Services

I see mostly late teens, couples and adults in order to assist with the following:

  • Anxiety and phobias
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Loss, grief and bereavement
  • Anger management
  • Adjustment difficulties
  • Relationship challenges and couple counselling
  • Trauma counselling and dealing with post-traumatic stress
  • Personal development and growth - dealing with issues connected to shame, poor self-esteem and loss of identity
  • Clinical health issues - adjusting to a newly diagnosed illness, hospitalisation, recovery and post-operative counselling

Therapy appointments are 50 – 60 minutes long. The number of sessions depends on client preference and individual requirements. Fees are structured within medical aid rates.

Narrative therapy

The focus in Narrative therapy is to separate the individual from the problem and to view issues in a relational and contextual manner.

Therapy looks beyond the problem-saturated story to other alternatives, strengths, skills and abilities. I am very inquiring of ‘taken for granted’ realities and practices that shape or restrict our lives.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) is goal orientated, structured and solution focussed. As a client, you play an active role in identifying unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns that lead to emotional distress.

With the help of the therapist, the client learns to restructure these beliefs and to develop effective new philosophies that lead to healthier emotions and habits. (Primary and advanced REBT training ; CBTi training for Insomnia)

Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT)

I have recently focused on Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) for anxiety, trauma and grief work. This is an effective, powerful short-term intervention that yields good results.

It has been designed to remove emotive responses that are deeply troubling, and create new, adaptive neural pathways that bring about symptom relief. (BWRT training level 1 and level 2)
