I acquired my Psychology Honours Degree at the University of Cape Town. I then completed my Masters in Community Based Counselling Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. Part of my Masters training required that I complete an internship, which I completed in two different hospital sites (‘Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital’ and ‘Helen Joseph Hospital’).
After my internship I immediately began my private practice, and later began working at Akeso Clinic in Parktown. In my work experience I have treated adolescents, adults, couples and families. I also have more than 5 years’ worth of experience in running group psychotherapy sessions.
Furthermore, in my private capacity I have done a number of mental health-related workshops. To date I have run the following kinds of workshops:
Parenting workshops
Mental health awareness workshops
Workshops on Emotional Intelligence
Workshops on Stress Management in the academic and work environment
Grief Management workshops
And other psycho-educational workshops
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy workshops and group therapy
In Psychotherapy
Depression
Anxiety
Attachment Difficulties
Grief/bereavement
Borderline Personality Disorder
Adjustment Difficulties
Couples Therapy
In Assessments
Career Assessments
Neuropsychological Assessments
Educational Assessments
Session lengths are 50 minutes unless otherwise agreed. Couples will usually have sessions that last a bit longer than the individual sessions.
Our first session will focus on what led you to seek an appointment with a psychologist; this will shape the kind of work we do together and its duration. This is also the time for us to establish whether we will be able to work meaningfully together.
We accept all medical aids and insurances. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your scheme will cover for the session if you will not be paying cash for your sessions.
For people paying cash, please note that this practice bills in accordance with all current Discovery rates.
