Part 1: Questions About Our Approach

Is therapy a sign of weakness or that I'm "broken?"

Quite the opposite. In a culture that relentlessly pressures you to ignore your own needs, choosing to turn inward and focus on your well-being is a profound act of courage. My core belief is that you are not broken; you are a whole person navigating a challenging world. Therapy is a space to honour that wholeness.

How is your approach different from other kinds of therapy?

Many approaches focus solely on your internal thoughts and feelings. My approach does that too, but it starts by acknowledging the external systems that cause so much of our stress. We'll validate your struggle by looking at the bigger picture. Then, in our sessions, we'll use compassionate, practical tools to heal the internal impact of that stress.

What if I don't know what to talk about?

You don't need to have anything figured out before you arrive. There is no "right" way to be in therapy. Sometimes the most powerful sessions begin with the simple words, "I'm not sure where to start today." My role is to help you explore, not to test you. Your only job is to show up as you are.

Part 2: The Practicalities of Working Together

How do online sessions work?

Our sessions take place online via a secure, private video platform that is simple to use. This allows you to have your session from any private space where you feel comfortable and have an internet connection. It offers a powerful level of comfort and convenience.

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes. Absolutely. Confidentiality is the sacred foundation of therapy. Everything we discuss is held in the strictest confidence, except in very rare circumstances as required by law (such as immediate risk of harm to yourself or others). We will discuss this in detail in our first session so you feel completely secure.

What is the scope of this service?

This service supports wellness through debriefing and emotional support. It does not provide statutory, legal, forensic, or mediation services, neither incapacity evaluations or reports, nor clinical diagnoses. If you require any of these services, please inform me immediately so I may refer you to a qualified specialist. These additional services will be at your own expense.

Part 3: Fees & Medical Aid 

What is your fee?

My fee is R600 for a 50-60 minute session. This rate is intentionally set below the standard tariffs suggested by most medical aids to make therapy more accessible.

Are you registered with medical aids?

Yes, I am registered with nearly every major medical aid in South Africa. The process below isn't about a lack of registration; it's about creating a more direct and empowering therapeutic relationship with you, free from the unpredictability of a bureaucratic system.

Why do I pay you directly instead of claiming from medical aid?

Our therapeutic relationship is the priority. By handling payment directly, we keep that relationship clean and clear. It ensures you are in full control of your commitment to therapy and separates your healing journey from the administrative delays and uncertainty of a third party.

How do I claim back from my medical aid?

The process is straightforward. After our session, you will receive a comprehensive statement from me containing the official tariff code: 89205. You then submit this document directly to your medical aid, and they will reimburse you according to your specific plan's benefits. I strongly encourage you to call them beforehand—it's a powerful act of self-advocacy to know exactly what your benefits are.

What if the fee is a barrier for me?

Your commitment to your healing matters more than policy. If my fee is a genuine obstacle to us working together, please raise it with me during our free consultation. I am always open to discussing a path forward that is sustainable for both of us.

The best way to get your specific questions answered is to book a free, 20-minute consultation. It’s a no-pressure conversation for us to connect and for you to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
