I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in Cape Town, South Africa​ in 2005​ and also hold a PhD in Psychology from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal.

My work experience has provided me with a thorough grasp of human psychology. I​ practiced for 12 years as an external consultant at Mediclinic Crescent Psychiatric Hospital and Akeso Kenilworth Clinic in Cape Town. Working in these settings exposed me to a broad range of psychological conditions. 

I treated depression, anxiety, PTSD and personality issues in General Units, unsuccessful suicide attempts in High Care Units, various addictions in Dual Diagnosis Units, and binge eating, bulimia and anorexia in Eating Disorder Units. I continued treating many of these cases in my private practice and was inspired by the shifts from troubled states of mind to improved well-being.

I relocated to Dubai in 2019, and treating a wide range of nationalities has reinforced the universal nature of psychological principles. We share a human essence which transcends geographical boundaries and shapes our existence.

I am licensed as a Clinical Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the Dubai Health Authority.
