About

After the loss of our son in 2007, I gained personal experience and insight into anxiety, depression, and become much more empathetic towards other's pain and suffering. Therefore, I am non-judgemental and can not be shocked by what you would want to share with me. I have experience in trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression, loss of a child, etc. My husband and I provide couples therapy as a couple.

Professional background

I am a qualified Hypnotherapist and Social Worker in Private Practice, with more than 16 years of experience in our Priv

How I work

I do an assessment via skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp call. I also do f2f counseling/hypnosis if you are in the Cape Town area. After the initial assessment session, we work out a treatment plan. Short term intervention requires 3-4 sessions. In hypnosis sessions, I address; stop smoking, weight loss, anxiety, self-image, phobias, and many more issues. If you do not believe in hypnosis, I follow the more traditional therapy way.
