I have over 20 years of experience working as a Clinical Psychologist in a wide variety of settings. I work with both adults and children.
I am passionate about seeing people grow! Like shed the past if it haunts you, change thoughts and behaviours that are plaguing you or just fine tune that inner self. With my well experienced therapist’s intuition and skills, I love helping someone achieve the ideal self. This does not mean completely casting away everything about you or turning you into some sort of robot, no! It means we decide what must go and what must stay. We then target the go list, replacing it with exactly what you want instead. (Not my suggestions, I don’t use hypnotherapy.) Doesn’t that sound amazing?
I trained as a Clinical Psychologist in Zululand and in Pietermaritzburg. Half of my internship was spent in Pietermaritzburg working in Townhill and Fort Napier hospitals and their clinics. The other was spent in the clinics of companies such as Mondi, Ports Authority, Bell and University of Zululand’s community clinic. I was trained in Psychodynamic therapy and a lot of time was dedicated to the assessment of children. Post graduation I have undertaken and still continue to study various therapies such as sand tray therapy, Brainspotting and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT).
When it comes to BWRT, I am an Advance Practitioner which means I have done many hours and numerous courses. In 2021 BWRT South Africa asked me to create and run training to use BWRT with children. Last year, due to its success, I ran the training internationally. As of 2023 I became an international BWRT mentor and supervisor for other BWRT practitioners. In 2023 I completed my level 3 training enabling me to work with the psychological aspects of diseases such as cancer and other autoimmune conditions.
I hope you now feel well assured you’re in experienced and well trained BWRT/ mental health ‘hands’. If you want to know more about me please go here.
Conceptualise. Target. Advance.
