About Angelic

I am so glad that you have found your way here, and I hope you will find a place, and a person, that supports your journey forward.

When I founded this practice I envisioned a space where people could feel seen, heard and truly supported. A space where therapy is both compassionate and clinically grounded.

Part of that vision was to offer our Stellenbosch community (and virtual online clients) access to a broad selection of psychologists, so that each person can find the support that fits them best.

Research consistently shows that one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy is the fit between the client and the psychologist, which is why I believe it is so important to find someone who feels right for you and who you will feel most comfortable with. That's why I have built a team of registered psychologists, so that you can choose the psychologist who aligns with your needs and therapeutic goals.

Therapeutic approach

I use an integrative therapeutic approach to suit your needs and therapeutic goals. I draw from the following psychotherapeutic paradigms: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

I offer a confidential therapeutic space where you can express yourself and be fully heard and understood. In my sessions I promote gaining insight into yourself and processing emotions linked to past and present experiences. I believe that to be able to connect meaningfully with others, we need to first connect with ourselves.

We will work to explore current difficulties and I will provide you with valuable tools to cope with life's obstacles. In your first session you and I will discuss your needs and treatment goals to assist in personalising your therapeutic experience. Everyone's needs and therapeutic goals are unique, as well as the duration of therapy (where some people prefer short term therapy, and others prefer long term therapy). Seeking therapy can be daunting, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about therapy and the therapeutic process.

Experience

I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient facilities in the private hospital sector and in the Government sector (Gauteng Health, WITS Hospital Circuit). Within inpatient facilities my experience has ranged from the adolescent ward, general psychiatric ward and Dual Diagnosis Units (DDU). I have further worked in various NGOs and NPOs.
