Education & Experience

I have a keen interest in understanding my clients holistically. This means that my therapeutic approach is based on the biopsychosocial needs of my clients and entails working hand-in-hand with other professionals to deliver the best care. My knowledge and application of the mental health legislations and other related legal and ethical guidelines ensures that I practice as an ethical and competent psychologist.

The effectiveness of psychotherapy heavily depends on the therapeutic relationship between the client and the psychologist. Thus, my approach to therapy entails creating a secure holding environment that grants clients the opportunity to explore their inner selves and their unconscious psychological needs. This entails exploring how early life events/experiences and relationships have influenced the client’s view of themselves, the world and others.

In therapy, I collaboratively work with my client to identify patterns in their functioning and empower them with the necessary skills to improve their quality of life. This involves using different techniques from a variety of therapeutic modalities/theories.

I completed my master's degree with the University of the Free State. During my studies, I was trained in various therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic therapy, REBT, gestalt therapy, play therapy, solution focused therapy, and client centered therapy. My training also involved attending multidisciplinary meetings at a psychiatric hospital and offering psychotherapy to learners and students.

I completed my internship at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital and weskoppies psychiatric hospital. During my internship, I worked within the medical, psychiatric and clinical psychology units. I gained exposure and experience in psychological assessments, treating severe and complex psychiatric disorders, and training in systems therapies.

I then completed my community service with the Department of correctional services where I offered individual psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and group therapy to offenders. I also gained experience in conducting risk assessments for the purpose of parole evaluations.
