About Me

I am a clinical psychologist and registered counsellor based in Cape Town with more than a decade of professional experience in mental health, counselling, psychological assessment and therapeutic support. My career has spanned both South Africa and international settings, providing me with a broad perspective on the emotional, developmental and psychological needs of individuals across diverse backgrounds.

My professional interests include working with children, adolescents and adults, with particular expertise in autism, neurodevelopmental differences and specialised educational support. For the past eight years, I have worked extensively within the autism and special needs sector, supporting individuals, families and multidisciplinary teams through assessment, intervention and collaborative care.

I provide private psychological counselling and therapeutic support for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges and identity related concerns. My approach is person-centred, compassionate, and evidence-informed, offering a calm, respectful and confidential space where individuals feel heard, understood and supported. Together, we work to develop practical strategies, strengthen resilience and promote lasting emotional wellbeing and meaningful personal growth.

Consultations are available in both English and Afrikaans, either in-person in Cape Town or online.
