After completing my BPsychology Degree at the Nelson Mandela University in 2018, In registered with the Health Professions Counsil of South Africa, as a Registered Counsellor. I have been working within the profession ever since. I currently run a private practice in Port
Elizabeth, South Africa and also make use of various online platforms to provide psychological support.

Each week I work with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, adults and couples, to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for
individuals to express their emotions and explore their life’s challenges. I also run a number of personal growth and support groups.
I believe that as human beings, we all need to feel connected to one another, this is the essence of Ubuntu. I believe that we begin to feel lonely and/or overwhelmed, when we do not have trusted meaningful relationships or when these relationships are challenging or
dysfunctional. The more we learn about ourselves, and the more we grow in our understanding of how we interact with our environment, the better we can become at managing ourselves and the better we can become at maintaining meaningful relationships, which in turn, enables us to create meaningful experiences within our lives. I believe in the counselling process because it creates a unique, safe and non judgmental space for
individuals to explore and unpack their thoughts, behaviors and emotions, in a way that will enable them to better understand themselves and empower them to interact with their environments in ways that are both beneficial and meaningful.
I look forward to walking alongside you as you embark on your counselling journey.
