Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Kimberley

Life is full of ups and downs. In the end it is the journey that matters most and that teaches us the most. Psychotherapy offer an individual the opportunity to collaborate with a therapist to overcome any obstacles that are hindering their progress or growth. The process of therapy addresses emotional, relational, cognitive and occupational concerns. I collaborate with the client and personalise an approach most beneficial to the client. To me psychotherapy is a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space in which to explore and better understand yourself, your relationships, and the challenges or difficulties that you face.

Life can be hard. We experience a whole array of emotions while balancing work, personal life, and relationships. At times it feels like the things happening in our life are overwhelming us, which leads to emotions like anxiety and depression. The thought of therapy can be intimidating, but it is a rewarding process of self-discovery and understanding yourself better to deal with the challenges of life.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I feel passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths, cope with daily challenges, and assist them in coping with or working through emotional distress in a safe environment. I offer play therapy to children 4-12 years of age and psychotherapy to adolescents and adults.

I am a firm believer of the fact that every single person has a life story worthy of being heard. Some stories might seem messy, chaotic and unfinished. Others might seem intriguing, exciting and “figured out”. Point is, everyone has their own story. And as a person who is completely passionate about being a clinical psychologist, I see myself as a friendly, approachable and compassionate human being who will give her best in making this daunting process of seeking therapy a little less scary. I am looking forward in hearing your life story and creating a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and open to share.

If you're struggling with emotional or daily life challenges, know that you are not alone. I offer a personalized approach to guide and support you on your journey towards healing. With empathy and understanding, I provide a safe and confidential space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” (C.S Lewis) To reach out to a psychologist might feel scary and overwhelming but it might also be one of the bravest things you can do! I am willing to take your hand through your difficulty, and allow you space to talk, to be, to vent and to ask the questions you are so afraid to answer alone. Sometimes therapy can be challenging, maybe overwhelming and at times difficult, but you are not alone and in the end I hope that you can say “it was worth it all”. May this be a meaningful experience for you.

As we move through life, we are often faced with many challenges and sometimes even moments that turn our lives upside down. Traumatic events and distressing experiences often leave us feeling lost, defeated and unsure. Everyone deals with these situations in their own way. At times, we are able to manage and cope rather well however, some challenges and tragedies can start to feel overwhelming and hard to cope with on our own. I know what it’s like to be caught in turbulent times. That is why I put my heart and soul into helping individuals make sense of these moments, put their life back together and find contentment and purpose.

As a counselling psychologist, I believe it is my job to help people navigate the obstacles on the journey of life. Therapy is for anyone who feels stuck, lost, misdirected, or even just those who are tired. Therapy can act as the GPS that redirects your life and gets you moving in the right direction again. One step at a time. My passion is working with, and helping people of all ages through a wide variety of difficulties. I look forward to our journey together.

I am counselling psychologist practicing in Bloemfontein, Ficksburg and Clocolan. As we know life can present with various challenges (challenges with work, relationships, health, identify, trauma etc.) and some of those challenges are connected to the past. Being in therapy can be a great way to make sense of your experience, gain insight, grow and heal.

I offer psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe ‘the life you want is on the other side of seeking help’.
