My Story
They say there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. It is my passion to honour and respect my client’s journey and to create a space without any judgement and fear. My clients are welcomed by a friendly and understanding approach and each person is embraced for who they are.
It is my heart for each and everyone who walks through my door, to feel heard and understood and to be able to express themselves within a confidential environment so that they can overcome their struggles and live life to the fullest. I believe my innate sensitivity and ability to feel into and relate to a child’s world will help bring about the best possible outcomes for the child and family.
I am based in Paarl and provide play therapy services for kids and counselling for adolescents, with a particular focus on children. I believe my innate sensitivity and ability to feel into and relate to a child’s world will help bring about the best possible outcomes for the child and family.
During individual counselling with adults we work together as a team and while I aim to empower my clients to find inspiration within themselves, I also provide them with the tools to make informed decisions to cope with the challenges that they are faced with in life. By doing this, they get the opportunity for optimal functioning in their home, school, work or social environments.
