I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered to practice both in South Africa and the UK. I am passionate and enthusiastic about working with young people, adults, couples, and their families. My practice is person-centered and focuses on clients’ personal needs, wants, desires, and goals and makes them central to their care. This means allowing clients to define and prioritize their goals.
Bereavement, Grief, and Loss are subjects close to my heart. I have loved and lost and can empathize at a deeper level. I am experienced in working with complex mental health presentations and other mental health difficulties including anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders, and can offer different types of assessments to assist with diagnosis. My other areas of interest are eating disorders and relationship/couples therapy including pre-marital counselling.
I use evidence-based and integrative approaches with my clients, with empathy and acceptance, guided by principles of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My training is grounded in systems training and I also use other modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and DBT skills.
I work in English and Setswana.
