About Me
TL;DR Summary
- I’m a counselling psychologist based in Johannesburg.
- I’m passionate about gender, sexual and relationship diversity, and sexual health.
-
I enjoy working with unconventional relationships, practices and identities.
- I have an academic background in politics and philosophy.
- I spend a lot of time reading and expanding my knowledge base.
- I spend far less time maintaining my herb garden.
I’m a counselling psychologist based in Johannesburg with my fur-children, an ever-growing pile of books and a herb garden in constant need of revival.
I am passionate about helping a diverse range of people to cultivate kindness and curiosity in exploring their experiences, relationships, identities, bodies and sexualities. I also have a special interest working with unconventional relationships, practices and identities.
Because I am a card-carrying nerd, and because I believe it’s important to constantly update our skills and knowledges, I am currently completing a diploma in Clinical Sexology through the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology in the UK.
My firm belief is that we need healthcare professionals who can engage with all the wonderfully unique parts of our clients in safe and affirming ways. As a result, I am also passionate about educating others on gender, sexual and relationship diversity, and other aspects of sexual and mental health. Follow me on social media to find out what I’m up to, and whether I have managed to keep my practice plant, Fred, alive.
