Therapy can be life changing.
Emotional difficulties can often be overwhelming and one can easily get to a point of despair. I have experienced both personally (on the patient side of the couch) as well as professionally the incredibly powerful tool psychotherapy can be in transforming people’s lives. I view being a psychologist as a calling and am passionate about the profession and the transformative and healing power of therapy.
My path to becoming a clinical psychologist started out in psychological research after completing a Masters in Research Psychology. I worked in social research for a few years before realising that my passion lay with working with people, particularly through the healing relationship that is the psychotherapeutic relationship.
After my training at UCT, I went on to work at the military hospital in Wynberg (2 Mil Hospital) and then at Red Cross Children’s Hospital’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Thereafter I moved into private practice.
I currently have two clinical psychologists working with me at my practice They are Lane Benjamin and Widaad Tape.
