Psychotherapy

Calm water surface with small ripples and concentric circles from a droplet or stone dropped into the water, image has gradient from light to dark, creating a serene atmosphere.

  • I offer individual psychotherapy to adults experiencing emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties. Therapy provides a space to explore distress, recurring patterns, and aspects of oneself that may feel difficult to understand, manage, or articulate.

    My approach is integrative, grounded in evidence-based interventions including psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. Treatment is tailored to the needs, goals, and circumstances of each individual.

    • Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

    • Anxiety disorders and chronic stress

    • Depression and mood disorders

    • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

    • Difficulties with emotional regulation

    • Self-esteem, identity, and self-worth

    • Recurrent patterns in relationships and ways of relating

    • Life transitions and adjustment

  • Sessions are 51-60 minutes in duration and are typically held on a weekly basis, although this may vary depending on your individual needs. All consultations are conducted securely online via a confidential telehealth platform.

  • My fees are aligned with current medical aid rates.

    If requested, I can submit claims directly to most South African medical aid schemes on your behalf. The extent of cover and any co-payments will depend on your specific medical aid plan, available benefits, and scheme rules. I recommend confirming your available psychology benefits with your medical aid provider before your first appointment.

    Certain clinical conditions may qualify for Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs), which may allow additional psychological services to be funded. Where clinically appropriate, this can be discussed during the course of therapy.
