ABOUT

My Privilege, My Passion, My Pledge

It is my privilege, as a clinical psychologist, to be able to work with people at the most profound cognitive and emotional levels. This is a privilege that I do not take lightly. It is my passion and duty to provide psychological support to those in distress. I pledge to work, as often as possible, within a multidisciplinary team for the benefit of my clients, including, for instance, a psychiatrist; an occupational therapist; a social worker;

a physiotherapist; and more.

My Approach

I ardently believe in treatments with scientific evidence for psychological conditions. I look forward to providing you, as a client, with a professional service and with superlative care.

CBT

I am an integrative therapist, although my main modalities of treatment are Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I am trained in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT).

TRAUMA

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (EMDR)

DBT

I also facilitate Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) groups every Monday evening from 6 pm to 8 pm at my practice in Sea Point.

My Blurb

In 1998, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities (French and Drama) at Rhodes University in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown). I completed a Diploma in Marketing Communications in 1999 through the International Advertising Assocation.

Between 2001 and 20011; Whilst working in sales and marketing in the book industry, I obtained parapsychological training Sophiatown Community Psychological Services for eight years prior to my formal studies. I went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in psychology at the University of South Africa in 2011. I completed a Magister Artium in Clinical Psychology at the University of Johannesburg in 2013.

My internship year was served at the Free State Psychiatric Complex in Bloemfontein, and I fulfilled community service at the Botshobelo District Hospital outside of the city. In 2016, I designed and implemented the DBT programme at the new Akeso behavioural clinic in Umhlanga, Durban. I am currently in private practice as the Director of Cape Town Psychologists in Sea Point, where we share rooms with six other therapists and one psychiatrist.

I regularly work in three other behavioural clinics: Palm Tree Clinic, Westbeach Clinic, and Vincent Palloti Life Path for patients with acute mental disorders.
