Services & Fees
Relationship-Focused Therapy
Relationships form an important part of how we experience ourselves and others. As a clinical psychologist with a particular focus on relationships, my work focuses on understanding what happens between people, the patterns that develop, and what may help those patterns begin to change.
Relationship-focused therapy may involve an individual, a couple or marriage, or a family, depending on the difficulty and the support required.
Individual Therapy
Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or disconnected. Individual therapy provides a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while developing a deeper understanding of yourself and the relationships that form part of your life.
My approach considers both your individual experience and the relational context in which it occurs. This may include understanding recurring patterns in relationships, navigating conflict, boundaries, trust, or intimacy, working through difficult relationship decisions or transitions, or exploring how past experiences influence the way you experience and respond to others.
Couples & Marriage Therapy
As a Clinical Psychologist in Potchefstroom with a particular focus on relationships, I work with couples experiencing recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, difficulties with trust or intimacy, and other relationship concerns. Couples therapy provides an opportunity to better understand what happens between partners and the patterns that may keep relationship difficulties going.
My approach focuses on understanding the patterns that develop between partners. Together, we explore how each partner experiences and responds within the relationship, how recurring patterns develop, and what may help the couple begin interacting differently.
Couples therapy can be helpful whether you are experiencing recurring difficulties, navigating a significant change in your relationship, or wanting to strengthen your relationship before difficulties become more established.
Couples therapy is also commonly referred to as marriage counselling, marriage therapy, or relationship counselling.
Family Therapy
Family difficulties can sometimes leave family members feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or caught in recurring patterns of conflict. Family therapy provides a space to better understand these experiences and the relationships and patterns that develop between family members.
My approach considers both the experiences of individual family members and the wider relational context of the family. This may include recurring family conflict, parent-child relationships, changes in family roles, separation or divorce, blended families, or other significant family transitions.
Online Therapy
Online therapy provides a flexible way to access professional support when attending the practice in person is not practical. Sessions can take place from the privacy of your home or another quiet and confidential space, reducing the barriers of distance, travel, and busy schedules.
Online sessions aim to provide the same professional and relational space as in-person consultations. Individual and couples therapy can be offered online where appropriate, allowing us to explore difficulties, better understand relational patterns, and work towards meaningful change.
