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.
