About
I am a South African trained clinical psychologist since 2006
whose three degrees have been obtained at :
- B.A. and Bachelor of Honours in Psychology at The University of the Witwatersrand (First Class).
- Masters in Clinical Psychology at The University of Pretoria (with
distinction and honorary colours).
I have published a JOURNAL article – my Masters Thesis in the, "The Psycho-analytic Psychotherapy in South Africa - Volume 16 , No 2, 2008". In addition, I have published a book, "Voiceless, in a Starving Inner World" that is now available online at numerous sites, Amazon.com for one.
I have been working in the field for the past 14years and have my private practice where I treat children, adolescents and adults.
