Narrative Therapy · Lacanian Psychoanalysis
I practise from De Waterkant in Cape Town, offering both face-to-face and online psychotherapy for people navigating experiences that leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.
I work with emotional distress, anger, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout, grief, divorce and separation, and the many challenges that can accompany significant life transitions.
