A Bit About Therapy

Therapy and the Therapeutic Space

Just as each person differs so does every therapeutic process. It is difficult to estimate the length of the process, but it usually ranges between 9 and 15 sessions depending on the difficulties and goals of therapy.

The first two or three sessions focus on the reasons for seeking therapy and exploring the context of your life in order to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs. The duration of the sessions are typically 50 minutes, with the first session being slightly longer.

I hope to provide a safe and consistent space in which we may explore your current struggles and difficulties. My aim is to bring about holistic healing and well-being so that you may live meaningfully and have satisfying relationships.

I believe in patient-therapist fit which means that if we find I am not able to assist you, I will guide you to someone who may, as therapy is a commitment which requires time and effort.

I offer both long- and short-term psychotherapy in English and Afrikaans.
