Prior to completing my Masters degree (2001), I attained my Nursing degree at the University of Pretoria (1995) and worked as a Registered Nurse. In 2000 I started my own nursing practice. I am passionate about people and their journeys to physical and psychological wellbeing.

I believe that our stories shape us. Everybody has a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables or camp fires and told their stories. We don't do that so much anymore. Life rushes us along. Most often, it takes something unforeseen and unwanted to stop us. The stories are about the same things, stories of having and losing, of power, of pain, of wounding, of courage, hope, and healing, of loneliness and the end of loneliness. It is our choice of how we make meaning of these experiences and in which way we will be shaped.

​

I gravitate toward positive psychology interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I view the counselling relationship as a partnership where two people work towards a goal. I believe that change is linked to perspective and sometimes we just need someone to walk with us on our journey of growth and renewal.
