My name is Debbie, and I can help!

I am a psychologist in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people overcome trauma, compulsive behaviour, self-sabotage and relationship strife.

My passion extends beyond my practice. Globally, the need for quality mental health intervention drastically exceeds supply.

Quality psychotherapy has become a scarce commodity (practices are full), but stress, trauma, depression and addiction have sky-rocketed.

The answer is for each of us to use the resources available and to do our own inner work, with or without a dedicated therapist.

I will show you how!

Two reasons you will love this approach:

  • You can have immediate, 24-hour access to the information, so you can get the help when you need it most.
  • You can do this work in the privacy and comfort of your own home, or wherever you find yourself in the world.

So, welcome! Please look around, check out the free resources above, and the ways to work with me.

My Story

Over the past 20 years, I have spent thousands of hours working with individuals and couples, both online and in person.

These years have been magical and abundant for my clients who have benefitted, but also for me.  It also has led me to my current vision and how I want to help you find true inner peace and empowerment.

Tools to Enhance Your Therapy

Psychotherapy is a wonderful gift, but the most permanent and powerful mechanism for growth and change is the inner work that we do, often on our own.

I am here to help you do this work; to overcome trauma, and to live life with the tools and strategies to master your challenges.

I will be your guide, and YOU will be your guru!
