I am a South African Clinical Psychologist with experience supporting individuals across a wide range of backgrounds and clinical settings. My academic journey began in South Africa, where I completed my training and obtained clinical experience through a network of hospitals comparable to the NHS.

I am currently pursuing a DPhil in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. My research focuses on developing interventions for adolescents affected by violence in schools and communities—work that reflects my enduring commitment to accessible, culturally responsive, and empowering mental health care.

Throughout my professional journey, I have worked across various contexts, including public health systems, schools, and correctional facilities. I have provided therapeutic support for individuals facing mild to severe mental health challenges, guided those navigating significant life transitions or traumatic experiences such as bereavement, and conducted both cognitive and psycho-legal assessments.

My clinical approach is informed by a deep understanding of how personal, systemic, and historical factors shape psychological well-being.

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure of what to expect or where to begin. At the core of my approach are warmth, empathy, and a spirit of collaboration.

When we meet, my aim is to offer a safe and supportive space where you feel genuinely seen and heard, whether you’re facing a moment of crisis, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply.

You don’t need to arrive with clearly defined goals, part of our work may involve gently exploring what matters most to you and identifying where you’d like to focus your energy. From there, we can co-create a flexible framework for our time together, shaped by your evolving needs.

I bring a calm, non-judgmental presence to our sessions and will always meet you where you are, allowing the process to unfold at a pace that feels right for you.

My hope is that therapy becomes a grounding space for you; one where we can make sense of your experiences, cultivate insight, and move toward steadiness amid life’s unpredictability. If you’re feeling uncertain, curious, or simply in need of a space to pause and reflect, I welcome you to reach out.

I offer psychological support for a broad spectrum of emotional and mental health challenges, including trauma, anxiety, low mood, psychosomatic distress, phobias, difficulties in relationships, and challenges related to work or school.

I have a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating complex trauma and the lasting effects of overwhelming or fragmented life experiences. My work often involves helping clients process significant life transitions, losses, or identity shifts, and move toward a sense of coherence and empowerment.

Beyond the therapy room, I find joy and renewal in nature, movement, and spiritual reflection. I’m inspired by the beauty of storytelling, silence, and sacred spaces. I love to read, travel, and immerse myself in different cultures and lived experiences—these explorations deepen my understanding of the human condition and continually enrich my therapeutic work.

I also co-founded a mental health non-profit—Mind Matters—which provides psychoeducation, advocacy, and school-based programs to underserved communities. These broader commitments remind me that healing is both an individual and collective journey, and that meaningful connection often begins with curiosity, compassion, and shared humanity.
