- I am a compassionate and goal-oriented individual who believes in the transformative power of change and personal evolution. Through counselling, I empower individuals to unleash their potential, break free from survival mode, and embrace healing—one session at a time.
As a wife and mother of two boys, I understand the challenges and joys of modern parenting. Parenting is a humbling journey, one where we often feel like we’re learning as we go. Mothers, in particular, embody an often-underestimated range of intellectual, emotional, and physical labour. Recognising this, I bring empathy and understanding to my work with parents navigating these complexities.
- I grew up in a small community where mental health was often misunderstood and stigmatised. I learned early on how vital it is to create safe spaces for people to express their struggles without fear of judgment. My journey as a teacher and now a counsellor, has been shaped by this awareness, and it fuels my commitment to fostering acceptance and understanding for those seeking help.
- Having lived and worked in diverse settings—from small communities in South Africa to
- international environments in New Zealand—I bring a unique blend of cultural sensitivity and global perspective to my work. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the belief that every individual has the strength to rewrite their story.
- Whether you’re navigating the stigma of mental health, seeking clarity in your relationships, or working toward emotional freedom, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

My Counselling Approach:
Living and working abroad was a transformative journey that deepened my appreciation for cultural diversity
and honed my ability to connect across cultural boundaries. These experiences have shaped my approach as a
counselor, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from around the globe, both virtually and in person.
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families reconnect on a deeper level, break free from limiting
narratives, and create lives filled with clarity, self-acceptance, and fulfillment. My work focuses on celebrating
each client’s unique genetics, environment, and beliefs, fostering self-acceptance in a world that often
stigmatizes mental health challenges.
Through empathy, personalized strategies, and goal-oriented support, I’ve witnessed remarkable
transformations—growth that once seemed impossible becomes attainable. It’s a privilege to guide my clients
on their journey toward the lives they truly desire and deserve.
My special interest areas:
- Healing from trauma and generational wounds
- Navigating the complexities of modern parenting
- Building healthy relationships and secure attachments
- Navigating the Emotional Journey of Immigration
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)

Brain Training and
Neurofeedback
Our protocols use real-time monitoring of your brain activity to help you optimise
focus, reduce stress, and improve overall mental performance. By training your brain
to self-regulate through personalised feedback, it unlocks your potential naturally,
without medications. It’s science-backed, safe, and results are long-lasting.
Assessment:
The assessment tells us which brain waves are in a typical range and
which ones or not. through training , we balance these brain waves for
optimal performance or to relieve specific symptoms.
Brain Training:
We use tailored protocols to correct imbalances identified through
assessments. Electrodes measure brainwave activity (no currents are
passed), while real-time data is translated into interactive games or displays.
Auditory and visual feedback guides your brain's progress, leading to lasting
improvements with consistent practice.
