ABOUT ME
I have always had a fascination with how people think and behave. This passion, together with an intuitive and empathic approach, has driven me to support and empower other women facing various challenges.
I spent the first part of my career in managerial and director roles in the fashion, beauty and retail sectors. This evolved into two very successful start-up businesses that I founded and managed before moving onto my life-long passion of becoming a psychotherapist. This experience has equipped me with vital business skills and knowledge which is crucial in assisting other businesswomen in their professional pursuits.
My counselling journey began in 2011 with children and victims of domestic violence, trauma and mental health issues in South Africa. In more recent years, and harnessing skills from personal and professional experience, I now specialise in individual counselling and coaching for women with the emphasis on personal growth and professional development.
After many personal struggles, I know first-hand how challenging life can feel. This has given me a deep understanding of what keeps us stuck and how best to overcome these obstacles, whether that is in the way we think, feel or behave.
My purpose is to help women to heal and transform their lives, and reach a place of empowerment and personal evolution. I know just how powerful it can be when women are supported and guided by each other, and I am honoured to be a part of the healing and growth of my clients.
