Who am I?
I completed a BA (Humanities) at RAU in 2002, majoring in Psychology and Industrial Psychology. I then completed my Honours Degree cum laude in 2003. I proceeded to get my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Stellenbosch University in 2005. I completed my community service year at Elizabeth Donkin Psychiatric Hospital, Port Elizabeth and have returned to Johannesburg to setup private practice with particular interests in adult psychotherapy, neuropsychological and intellectual assessments, personality disorders, acute psychiatry, addictions and health & medical psychology.
Clinical Psychology at RehabMatters
Clinical psychology is the scientific application of psychology to treat mental distress in both health and social care contexts. Clinical psychologists use scientific research methods to understand psychological functioning.
Clinical Psychology at RehabMatters is tailored to the specific needs of patients by providing either psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy in individual or group therapy sessions. I have a strong interest in Neuropsychology, a branch of clinical psychology and neurology that aims to understand and measure how specific psychological processes relate to the structure and function of the brain, particularly following brain trauma or brain disease.
The psychological services offered at RehabMatters are diverse and can meet both your emotional and cognitive therapeutic needs.
