I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice since 1991, and I offer individual therapy, couples therapy and leadership coaching.

I am based in the Johannesburg suburb of Parkhurst.

The most recent professional paper I've published, entitled "Borderline Personality Disorder: A Mal du Siècle?", was co-authored with Robyn Fasser and appeared in the July/August 2008 edition of New Therapist.

In individual and couples therapy, I deal with such issues as:

~ stress
~ anxiety
~ relationship difficulties
~ adjustment disorder

I also offer leadership coaching for managers, executives and other leaders, dealing with such issues as:

~ leadership development
~ executive integrity
~ personal skills development
~ self-mastery
~ change management
~ diversity management
~ team management and
~ team building

All programmes are tailored to suit the needs of the client, whether an individual or organisation.

Coaching provides a context in which the following processes are undertaken to address issues and challenges identified by the coachee:

~ developing an improved understanding of internal and external contexts
~ assessing of what is required of a manager / leader
~ developing a personal SWOT analysis
~ establishing definable goals
~ planning for activation and implementation
~ defining a process of evaluation
