Therapeutic
Approach

I am a registered psychologist with the Federation of Switzerland Psychology (FSP), the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

I have over 35 years experience working as a psychotherapist and utilise a systemic, narrative therapeutic approach to help co-create new possibilities for future action. My consultative methodology is gentle, respectful and collaborative so that change can unfold in a safe emotional space.

Your decision to embark on a therapeutic journey reflects your intention to change; to move from the old into the new.

Your life experiences are the building blocks of your life story. There may be times, however, when you feel stuck and despondent. Emotional difficulties are deeply personal, debilitating and at times confusing. In order to better understand the reality that you are experiencing, it is necessary to explore how your assumptions and beliefs are framing your perspective. We will be co-partners in this exploration, so that you will be able to resolve your difficulties with deeper insight and newer meaning.

Feeling more relaxed and emotionally lighter, coupled with a clarity of how to move forward, will be the fundamental benefits of the interactional process that will unfold between us.
