Thank you for visiting my website! I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Honours in Psychology, and Masters in Clinical Psychology at the University of the Free State. During my Masters, I worked at Sand du Plessis Primary School and Sand du Plessis High School, where I provided individual psychological interventions to learners. I completed my internship at the Free State Psychiatric Hospital, where I worked with adults suffering from complex mood, anxiety, personality, substance use, and psychotic disorders, as well as adolescents and young children presenting with various psychiatric disorders and psychosocial challenges (including grief, trauma, and depression).
I completed my community service year at Grootvlei Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein, where I provided psychological services to sentenced inmates. This included psychotherapy, psychological screening, and parole risk assessments for violent- and sex offenders. I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) in the category of Independent Practice: Clinical Psychology, and I currently run a part-time private practice. Furthermore, I hold a permanent position as a clinical psychologist at the University of the Free State. I am passionate about helping others navigate their unique life obstacles and reach an improved state of mental health. Therapy is never an easy journey, but seeking therapy is an act of courage and self-love.
I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of healing, acceptance, and growth, whatever that might look like.
I offer a range of professional psychological services for children, adolescents, and adults. These services include:
Adult Psychotherapy
Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions, individual therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore any challenge. In my practice, I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), or Schema Therapy, depending on the unique therapeutic needs and goals.
Child and Adolescent Therapy
I work therapeutically with children from the age of 6 years old. Play therapy (including art therapy or sand tray therapy) can be used to treat a wide variety of emotional problems and behavioural disorders in children as it fully meets their unique developmental needs. Moreover, using the child’s natural language of play may help with improved emotional expression, healing from trauma, or developing healthier ways of coping or behaving.
For adolescents, talk therapy may be used whilst some creative elements of play therapy are incorporated. Some of my other areas of interest include: Bullying, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Grief, Social Anxiety Disorder, Eating Disorders, Depression, and issues with identity development.
Psychological Assessment
In my practice, I may suggest the use of a psychological assessment tool if it will be able to assist in identifying the underlying causes of individual symptoms, measuring or observing a patient’s behaviour, arriving at a specific diagnosis, or providing a basis for developing a treatment plan.
Parenting plans & divorce mediation
Divorce can be a very stressful process. South African law encourages parents to make use of parenting plans as it promotes stability and consistency in a child’s life during and after the separation process. Parenting plans are a relatively new concept in South Africa, but are already popular in countries such as the United States, Australia, and Europe.
A parenting plan must comply with the best interests of the child principle as set out in the Children’s Act, must be in a prescribed format, and set out how parents will exercise their respective responsibilities and rights. Issues that are set out in parenting plans may include the following, where and with whom the child will live; the maintenance of the child; contact between the child and any other person; and the schooling and religious upbringing of the child.
After a parenting plan has been created, it can be registered with a family advocate or submitted to the court in order to make it a legally binding document.
