What happens

  1. You get in touch

    Call or email, whichever feels easier. I work weekdays.

  2. You say what has brought you

    In your own words, and only as much as you want to say. The practice covers six areas, set out below.

  3. The therapy is built around you

    I have found there is no one-size-fits-all approach in therapy. I practise using an integrated orientation, and construct the focus around the person in front of me and the story they bring.

  4. The practical side

    I charge medical aid rates and can claim directly from your medical aid on your behalf.

    The practice is at 8 Moray Drive, Bryanston, Johannesburg.

Questions people ask first

What kind of therapy is this?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach in my practice. I work from an integrated orientation and build the focus around you and the story you bring, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural, Rational Emotive Behaviour, Narrative and Systems therapies. I also practise Brain Working Recursive Therapy.
Is it for me, my child, or us?
I see adolescents and adults individually, and couples and families together. Children are seen through play therapy, where play is how they process what they cannot yet put into words.
Where are you, and when do you see people?
My practice is at 8 Moray Drive, Bryanston, Johannesburg. I am available on weekdays. Phone me to arrange a time.
What does it cost, and does medical aid cover it?
I charge medical aid rates and can claim directly from your medical aid on your behalf. Cash and EFT payments are payable on the day of the session. Phone me for the rate.
What if I need to cancel?
Please cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment. Sessions cancelled later than that are still charged for.
