As a therapist, it is my mission to help my clients transform their lives, both emotionally and practically. Sometimes this will involve examining particular personal beliefs or patterns of behaviour that may no longer be helpful.
Other times it will involve exploring and tapping into the inherent power each of us has within us for healing, for achievement and to live a fulfilled and joyous life. More often than not, it will end up being a combination of the two.
Because people generally neither have the time nor the resources to undergo long-term psychotherapy, much of the work I do tends to be solution focused and therefore fairly brief in nature. (A typical client will see me just 6 times.)
This however does not necessarily mean that the approach I use is any less effective than the ones adopted by many therapists who employ some more traditional therapeutic models.
like to stay client-focused in my work and, for that reason, the nature of particular sessions may differ greatly one from another, depending on the person concerned or the issue being dealt with.

I am also a certified practitioner of NLP.
I worked on community and group work projects in deprived South African settings. I also counselled for the Gay Advice Bureau in Johannesburg, an erstwhile crisis-intervention help-line. I haven’t, however, been exclusively employed in the helping professions.
Much of my working life has been spent in the worlds of business and the arts, where I gained valuable experience in the creative process, motivation, sales, management and entrepreneurial endeavour.
