About My Practice

I work with a diverse group of clients and patients in managing personal development goals and mental health well-being.

I primarily practice from an integrative psychodynamic framework, which means that I foreground developing a working relationship with clients and patients so that together we may come to understand their thoughts, feelings, behaviours and current personal challenges.

Consultations are available in-person from private offices in Somerset West, as well as online.

Psychology Services

I offer clinical psychology services, including psychological assessments and psychotherapy for older adolescents and adults, that assist clients and patients in managing personal development goals and mental health well-being.

Clinical Assessment

A clinical assessment involves identifying presenting concerns and obtaining relevant personal, family, and health histories. This process helps to establish an initial clinical understanding, set personal and clinical goals, and formulate treatment plans.

Psychodiagnostic Assessment

Psychodiagnostic assessments offer a more comprehensive clinical assessment and assist in identifying more specific and substantial areas of clinical interest. These assessments often involve more detailed, structured interviewing alongside psychological screening and psychometric tools.

Psychometric Assessment

Psychometric assessments use standardised psychological tests to measure aspects of psychological and mental health functioning.

Psychotherapy

The principal objective of psychotherapy is the improvement of one’s own sense of well-being and the further development of personal functioning across different life areas such as relationships, family, and work. On a practical level, this is achieved by developing existing and new coping strategies and personal resources that can be used to prevent, resolve, and better manage personal and mental health well-being.

Therapy may be brief (a few weeks) or extend over a longer period (a few months or years), depending on individual preferences, goals, and needs.
