My Journey
My Roots
My interest in people and their lives has shaped my professional path. After completing my teaching and psychology degree in South Africa, I worked for many years with children and their families. This experience deepened my understanding of people’s lives and led me to continue my studies in psychology, counselling, and sexual therapy.
Movement is an important part of my life. Advanced Pilates Matwork training at Art of Motion in Switzerland deepened my appreciation for the connection between body, mind, and emotional well-being. This understanding also accompanies my work in counselling.
Sexual Counselling
As a sexual therapist/ counsellor (Vertiefungslehrgang, ZISS), I work with the understanding that sexuality is learned and can continue to develop throughout life. Conversations about relationships and sexuality can help bring clarity, recognise patterns, and open possibilities for growth and change.
Psychological Counselling
As a psychological counsellor (BCB, Schweiz), I work together with clients to reflect on the paths they have taken and those that lie ahead, helping them recognise and strengthen their inner resources.
I am currently undertaking advanced training in Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor Therapy (PBSP®), often referred to as Pesso Therapy. This body-oriented and emotion-focused approach draws on neurobiological understanding and the concept of embodiment, recognising the close connection between emotional experience, memory, and the body.
