COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGIST
ABOUT ME
"Life is a journey, not a destination" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Parkhurst, Johannesburg. I have been consulting since 1991, and work only with adults. My HPCSA registration number is Pr 8618151.
I offer individual and couples therapy, as well as corporate and organisational coaching.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I completed a degree in Politics and Economics with Philosophy as a sub-major, followed by an Honours degree in Politics and International Relations. I worked in the Department of Foreign Affairs in South Africa and in Israel, and later taught Economic and Business Economics at a night school in Mamelodi.
My MA (Psychology) dissertation looked at family murder, while in my Doctorate (Psychotherapy) I compared three different methods of healing or psychotherapy, namely systems, Kleinian and traditional healing.
I am a member of the Psychological Society of South Africa, belong to two peer discussion groups, and have been running CPD (Continuing Professional Development) workshops with a colleague on an ad hoc basis since 2003. I have been married since 1978, and have three adult children and three grandchildren.
