ABOUT

I have been in private practice for over 20 years and have a wide range of experience in the field of psychology. I see my work as a Psychologist as a great honour – to share a space with someone that deals with the fragile nature of life. Our lives have become tremendously difficult. Life is hard. And we all need to survive throughout the difficulties, and often tragedies.

The scope of practice of a Clinical Psychologist is to assess, diagnose and intervene with people dealing with serious life-challenges, psychological distress, and/or psychopathology. It is through the process of psychotherapy that these problematic issues are addressed. In psychotherapy it is the relationship between the client and the therapist, rather than any specific technique that is most healing. I can best describe myself as an Eclectic Therapist, in that I draw from various orientations to guide the therapeutic process. These include Narrative Therapy, a Systems Approach, Solution Focussed Therapy, Object Relations (Psychodynamic and Self-Psychology) to name a few.

Psychotherapy is a very personal journey of self-discovery and growth – a journey that constantly unfolds, re-creating a healing and transforming thread in our lives. The therapeutic space becomes a safe place of discovery and exploration for continuous change and personal empowerment.

I see adults and young adults from the age of 18, and also offer support to partners and families affected by serious life problems.
