About
I am a counselling psychologist based in Heldervue, Somerset West.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to support your growth and meaning-making of life.
Guided by your personal goals and needs, I draw on a range of approaches, with a foundation in psychodynamic therapy. This means we’ll pay attention to the deeper layers of your experience, always with the intent to remain respectful and attuned to your pace.
Mission
I am passionate about individual and relational well-being. I am acutely aware of how the assurance of safety and security within relationships translates into how we feel about ourselves and in relation to others. Relational well-being and the assurance of trust and security within relationships contribute to our sense of individual well-being. Beyond individual and relational well-being, I am mindful of the difficulties presented by the day-to-day of life, and how traumatic experiences can present a rupture to our relationships with ourselves and others. My work therefore also centers on making meaning of traumatic experiences and how these influence our way of being in the world.
