What to Expect From Counselling

🌙 The Kind of Presence I Offer

I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to sit beside you —
in the dark, in the longing, in the quiet ache that no one else seems to notice.

I hold space for the parts of you that feel too deep, too sensitive, too complicated.
Because I’ve lived in those places too.

I’ve wrestled with the ache to belong
while fearing I’d have to shape-shift to be accepted.
I know what it’s like to feel both too much and not enough,
often at the same time.

And so I hold space not as someone with all the 'right' answers —
but as someone who has learned the sacredness of staying.
Staying with discomfort.
Staying with feeling.
Staying with you.

I believe that healing doesn’t always look like joy.
Sometimes, it looks like being allowed to feel everything —
without shame, without rush, without fear of being abandoned in it.

This is what I offer:
Not perfection.
But presence.
And the gentle reminder that even in your most tender moments,
you are not alone.
You belong here.

As a Registered Counsellor in Cape Town, my practice is dedicated to unlocking the potential of every client, empowering adolescents, young adults, and students to navigate challenges, build resilience, and achieve emotional well-being.

Counselling Approach

Holistic & Solution-Focused Counselling for Optimal Mental Health

I adopt a holistic counselling approach, integrating ecosystemic and solution-focused methods to support clients in achieving lasting emotional well-being.

Believing in the power of community and collaboration, I wors in a multidisciplinary manner, making referrals to social workers, occupational therapists (OTs), and clinical/educational psychologists when needed. This ensures that every client receives comprehensive, personalised care tailored to their unique challenges.

With training in evidence-based counselling techniques, I am committed to guiding individuals toward optimal mental health, resilience, and personal growth. Whether you need a Registered Counsellor in Cape Town or prefer online therapy in South Africa, I can provide a safe, supportive space for growth and transformation.

Feeling like you're 'LOST','too much' or 'not enough'?
