I have obtained a Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych Honors equivalent) degree from Midrand Graduate Institute of Higher Education. I use a variety of psychosocial interventions to help students thrive. I offer individual, group and family counselling. I offer short term supportive counselling and psychoeducation. My focus is on individual counselling with careful attention to learning disabilities and other disabilities such as autism that can have an impact on a person’s learning abilities.  The aim of these sessions is to offer preventative and accessible health initiatives to all students. 

 

The primary goal of counselling is to ensure the individual is content with their environment and thierself.  I provide psychological assessments that screen for mental health issues, personality profiling and psychoeducational assessments to help students with various learning abilities easily adjust to higher education and eventually their internships.

 

The inventions that I gravitate towards are solution focused therapy, gestalt therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am often focused on providing support for students who have been diagnosed with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis.

I use holistic techniques in counselling sessions based on the students’ needs. However, there are some frequently used techniques such as solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness and some elements of positive psychology to foster students to become resilient, have great self-efficacy and take pride in attaining self-responsibility.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Science Honours in Psychology (BPsych Equivalent) from the South African College of Psychology, and I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.

My passion lies in supporting students through the wide range of challenges they may encounter during their academic journey. I offer short-term supportive counselling and facilitate psychoeducational workshops designed to promote mental well-being and personal growth.

I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help students manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, academic pressure, and more. My approach is integrative and student-centred, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Each session is tailored to the unique needs of the individual, ensuring personalised and effective support.

Above all, I strive to create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where students feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe every student has the capacity for resilience and growth, and my goal is to equip them with the tools and insights needed to navigate both academic and personal challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
