Welcome,
I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor registered with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP) - a SAQA-recognised professional body.
I hold a BA in Psychological Counselling (UNISA) and an Honours in Psychology (UWC), along with specialist counselling training from Humanitas and FAMSA.
My practice is rooted in empathy, real-life experience, and evidence-based approaches. After many years working in corporate and numerous part-time roles alongside raising my children, I was drawn to this work by a deep desire to walk alongside others in their most vulnerable moments and I am honoured to be helping clients to navigate life’s complex transitions. Because life is hard sometimes - and we don’t have to do it alone.
Who do I work with?
I work with clients of all ages and across all stages of life, offering support through the natural, yet challenging transitions we all face and often struggle with. These might include:
Moving from school to university
Entering the workforce
Navigating new or longstanding relationships
Parenting through different life stages
Coping with perimenopause and other health challenges
Surviving trauma or grief
Managing the process of ageing
Together, we explore current emotional or situational challenges and develop personalised, practical strategies to help clients cope and thrive.
Alongside my counselling practice I also offer the service of creating life-story books for your loved ones from their personal stories. The realisation that losing a special friend or relative too soon also means denying their family and future generations of their life stories led to the creation of the first life-story books for my relatives, before going on to create life-story books for clients.
BA in Psychological Counselling (Unisa); BA Honours in Psychology (UWC)
Specialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP)
I am here to support you on your counselling journey, offering online sessions for those struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or in need of extra support. In a safe, confidential space, I can help you to work through immediate concerns and facilitate changes to improve your resilience and coping skills. Together we can seek new paths for navigating life’s transitions and challenges.
I currently offer online counselling with secure, easy-to-use video links and consider in-person sessions on a case-by-case basis.
I assist loved ones in retelling their life story, capturing both their words and special images in a beautifully presented photobook. The process of recounting a life lived can be cathartic, helpful in gaining clarity and closure, and result in immense pride for the storyteller. Life-story books are suitable for elderly friends or relatives, those fighting life-changing disease or anyone wanting to capture their story. The books are cherished by clients and become treasured keepsakes for future generations.
Many people imagine they will get around to writing their own memoirs, but most don't, and their precious stories are sadly lost with them. I believe that every individual’s story deserves to be saved.
