The mind I love most must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.

A BIT ABOUT MY PRACTICE
In my clinical practice I facilitate assessment and psychotherapy services for older adolescents and adult individuals. I also offer consulting services to private sector corporate’s as well as at the University of Cape Town’s Department of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
My professional interests include psychotherapeutic practices that assist individuals who are experiencing or struggling with:
- trauma or loss;
- anxiety and stress;
- mood difficulties;
- relationship difficulties;
- professional or career related challenges;
- transitional and life challenges relating to parenthood, separation or divorce, and personal existential questioning.
At UCT’s Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry I work with adults who have a child struggling with psychological or psychiatric difficulties. This forms part of a broader interest in working with people who are finding it difficult to cope with a family member who is struggling with psychological or psychiatric difficulties.
I practice psychotherapy primarily from an integrative psychodynamic framework. This means that I foreground developing a working relationship with my clients and patients that helps make sense of the thoughts and feelings and behaviours that may be causing distress in their life.

WHY A PSYCHODYNAMIC FRAMEWORK
A psychodynamic framework encourages a more in-depth therapeutic inquiry that focuses not only on symptoms or conditions (such as anxiety or depression) but also on the reasons why particular symptoms or conditions may have developed. Understanding what sustains the difficulties a person may be experiencing or what makes them worse, and what helps reduce or alleviate them is an important focus of working psychodynamically.
In general people experience psychodynamic therapy to be helpful in developing their own personal psychological resources, self-awareness, and reflectivity – which are fundamental to the capacity to prevent, cope with, and manage life stressors.
