How do I book an appointment?

You can complete the contact form on this website, use the WhatsApp button in the bottom right corner, or call 067 473 1782 to enquire about appointments and availability.

Do you offer online appointments?

Yes. Sessions are available in person or online, depending on the type of service and individual circumstances.

Who do you see for therapy?

I offer individual therapy to teenagers aged 16 and older, and to adults.

For clients under 18, a parent or legal guardian completes the intake and consent forms, and I meet with the parent or guardian before the teenager's first therapy session.

Adults complete their own forms and meet with me for their first session.

Can I claim from medical aid?

I am registered with most medical schemes, so you may be able to claim reimbursement for your sessions, depending on your benefits.

The practice operates on a cash basis: you pay the practice directly and submit any claim to your medical scheme yourself.

Please check your available cover with your scheme before booking. You remain responsible for the fee if a claim is declined or only partly reimbursed.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Same-day cancellations may be charged in full.

I understand that illness and emergencies happen, and these circumstances will be considered individually.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
