I have been a registered Counseling Psychologist for over 18 years. I was the Principal Psychologist at the University of Cape Town. My interest areas include: Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Difficulties, Trauma Management, Relationship Issues, Sexuality Concerns, etc.
I offer therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My approach is evidence-based and I adapt the therapy to the client's needs, concerns and characteristics.
