How I can help you
This is the starting point, to determine whether I can actually be of help to you. Each therapist has a specific approach to therapy based on their training, personality, experience, and interests. I take great care to make sure that I am the right “fit” for someone looking for a therapist.
Why I am specialized in this field
I have over 10 years of experience and provide supervision for psychologists and psychiatrists. I have completed a PhD in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and have spent many hours thinking about the complexity of being human. I have published numerous peer-reviewed articles in renowned journals and and have established long-lasting relationships with international clinicians in order to keep growing as a professional. I am also a member of the Ethics Board of the South African Psychoanalytic Confederation, and have also been elected as a member of the Advisory Board for the British Journal of Psychotherapy.
What I say to people who feel nervous or have concerns about therapy/assessment
Say whatever comes to mind, there is no right or wrong way to approach therapy. The fact that it feels anxiety-provoking is likely a sign that you are being intentional and brave about addressing matters very close to your heart.
What measures I use in assessments
I primarily use clinical impressions and interviews. I don’t use standardised assessments, although I do refer individuals for these types of assessments when required in order to build a holistic view.
