ABOUT ME

I am a HPCSA registered Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Bryanston, Johannesburg and Moreleta Park, Pretoria, Gauteng. I completed my undergraduate BA degree and Honours Degree in Psychology at Stellenbosch University.

During my training I worked as a lay counsellor for five years. I have also worked as an Assessment Specialist for Adcorp Talent Resourcing conducting psychological assessments for government departments and private companies.

I completed my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology (cum laude) at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth gaining experience at the university clinic and private psychiatric hospital.

I completed my year of Community Service at Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria working with adults and adolescents as well as families.

Currently, I am also a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Africa in Pretoria.

I believe in tailoring therapy to meet the needs of the individual, couple or group. I work with children, adolescents and adults.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES

My therapeutic approach is drawn from a number of theories and therapies including the following:

Relational Psychoanalytic Therapy
Client-centred Therapy

I also offer an eight week course for parents in an individual or group format utilising the international Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P) Programme which focuses on enhancing the parent-child attachment.
