Looking for a psychologist?
Life gets to everybody. And when you don’t know what to do anymore, you often need someone to walk alongside you and help you take a step in the right direction. That is what psychotherapy is all about. It is about helping you to get your life back on track again!
A psychologist can help you…
- To find the inner strength and perspective you need to move from being immobilized to actively managing your life;
- To understand and deal with the inner realities that upset your life - realities like, stress, anxiety, fear and anger;
- To find new and effective ways to deal with pain, trauma and loss;
- To work with and overcome clinical syndromes (such as depression, bipolar disorder, etc.) that impact your life extensively;
- To find healing for the emotional scars left by past wounds; and
- To help you discover a healthy lifestyle where your physical, emotional, rational and spiritual selves are aligned.
Psychotherapy is, however, about more than that. It is also about helping you...
- To make important life decisions;
- To make progress on your journey of personal development,
- To discover and develop your potential;
- To access a fulfilling life, and/or
- To build fulfilling personal relationships.

My role as a psychologist is to create an environment that will make it safer and easier for you to work with any or all of the abovementioned areas of your life.
To facilitate this process, you will need…
- An atmosphere where you are fully accepted, free to explore your own issues and be your real self;
- A safe environment where you can speak your mind and know that our conversation will always be confidential;
- To have respect for your human dignity, no matter who you are;
- To be listened to in a nonjudgmental and compassionate manner;
- To be lead to explore your inner realities and your real life situations;
- Some guidance in formulating new and more useful ways of dealing with yourself and your life (difficulties);
- Possible aid to contain and resolve your inner struggles;
- To work in collaboration with you and empower you to move forward; and
- For those who want to incorporate a Christian perspective into their therapy, the Word of God will be used as foundation for their therapeutic process and a Spirit-filled prayerful approach will be incorporated, if you require.
