Areas of Expertise

Depression & Anxiety

My main therapeutic focus is the treatment of depression and anxiety in young adults. So often I have found both depression and anxiety to calls to action. This call to action requires a person to do two things. Firstly to heal from the past, and secondly to engineer a life that is worth living. I provide face to face and on-line therapy.

Relationships & Communication

(At Work and at Home)
In order to engineer a life worth living we often need to look to our relationships and work-life too. Every relationship IS communication. We can gauge the health of any relationship by the quality of the interaction. I am a trained expert in interactional pattern analysis. Adjusting the way, you define your relationships and interact with your environment forms part of my therapeutic intervention. 

Experiential Career Coaching

I have over a decade’s experience in facilitating career exploration for those entering the world of work as well as for those desiring to make a change. The way we spend our time day in, and day out will have an impact on our mental health. If we spend our time performing unfulfilling tasks our bodies will eventually sound the alarm, signalling that “the self” is being lost or sacrificed. This alarm can manifest as depression. Alternatively, this alarm can manifest as anxiety, which is ultimately a call from the self towards the self. The body also lets us know when we have veered off track by causing us physical pain, often diagnosed as some form of autoimmune or chronic pain disorder. Heed that call, heal from the past and move towards embracing the present.

When engaged in a psychotherapy I have found that we cannot address only one aspect of the self, and I have therefore built up a treatment repertoire that can assist my clients in either or all of these facets in order to bring about a happier, healthier, self-fulfilling you.

An understanding of depression, anxiety and other mood disorders

Often psychological distress gets communicated by the mind through the body in the form of pain, eating disorders, sweating, feeling low, losing interest, or feeling anxious often referred to as depression, general anxiety disorder, bipolar mood disorder, anorexia, bulimia, post-traumatic stress disorder and so on. These feelings are, in either case, a call to healing, your body shouting out for help for your own sake and a sign that you are being tripped up by old thoughts and experiences. 

So what now?

Psychologists work in different ways. I rely on a practical and structured process researched by a team of psychologists, neurologists, and other medical mental health professionals. The approach allows clients to measure their own progress though how they feel and respond to situations at home, with friends and at work. This process has helped thousands of people and is constantly evolving and growing with current research being conducted around the globe. The focus is in how you are thinking, feeling and how your distress is expressed interpersonally and experienced physically. I am registered with most medical aid and will make sure that claiming through your medical aid is as easy and painless as possible.
