About Me

I don’t believe that there is much more important, when embarking on a process of psychotherapy, than a natural “fit” between therapist and client. For this reason, I invite you to peruse this site, and contact me if you have any questions that would help you to feel comfortable, prior to scheduling an initial meeting. 

I hold a Masters degree in Psychology (2004), and am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa as a Counselling Psychologist. I have a well-established full-time private practice in Sunninghill, Johannesburg and have about 15 years of uninterrupted experience working with individuals and couples.

Apart from the longer-term and shorter-term work I conduct with individuals in my practice, I am also deeply engaged in various relationship therapy initiatives.  I provide a great deal of couple and marriage counselling, and have developed what I call “Relationship Rehab”, wherein couples can escape to the bushveld for weekends of R&R, and intensive relationship therapy sessions with me. I also offer the intensive therapeutic component of those weekends in my Sunninghill office, in the form of 3-hour "marathon" relationship therapy sessions.

I also offer an e-counselling service, for diary and geography-constrained people.

I am contracted in to medical aids, and am thus able to claim directly on your behalf. I am not oblivious to the economic times we are facing, and am willing to chat about affordability where there is a real need, particularly with patients who are funding their own treatment.

Whatever the case, I’d like to provide you with enough information about me, my areas of speciality, and the way in which I practice to get a sense of whether I am the right psychologist for you.
