As a dedicated Registered Counsellor, I provide confidential counselling for adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges and life transitions.

I offer this support in a calm private practice in Constantia, Cape Town, or online across South Africa.

Services

Life can feel overwhelming even when you appear to be coping on the outside.

 

You may be dealing with:

  • anxiety or chronic stress

  • burnout and emotional exhaustion

  • relationship difficulties

  • grief or loss

  • major life transitions

  • low mood or feeling stuck

  • difficult family dynamics

  • challenges with self-worth or emotional regulation

Counselling offers a confidential space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and find healthier ways forward.

About me

Having lived much of my life in Zimbabwe, I moved to Cape Town in 2005, where I raised my three children and spent many years facilitating personal growth groups for women.

 

My longstanding interest in emotional wellbeing and personal development led me to formal counselling training, and I completed my BPsych Equivalent Honours degree in Psychology through the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP). I am a Registered Counsellor with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), practising within the ethical and professional standards that govern psychological care in South Africa.

I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, offering a grounded therapeutic space for adults navigating life’s challenges.​ My approach is warm, thoughtful and person-centred, integrating psychological insight with practical emotional support. I work collaboratively, helping clients deepen self-awareness, strengthen coping, and move toward meaningful change.
