"I'm a Counselling Psychologist, with over 23 years practice experience and 10 years lecturing experience. I am originally from KwaZulu Natal, where I completed my undergraduate and post graduate qualifications. Since qualifying as a Counselling Psychologist, I have worked in many varied roles in my career, beginning in a Student Counselling Centre at the Durban University of Technology and then moving into private practice for a further 10 years. During this time I've run a small training business, developed a mobile student counselling service for a private institution, offered professional supervision and also lectured in multiple private tertiary institutions across multiple subjects and cohorts (from first year to honours). I have a particular passion for research and case supervision, and feel I have found my home in tertiary education. I see it as my way of giving back to the next generation of mental health professionals and thrive on watching students and interns grasp new concepts and develop their own unique professional identities. I love facilitating professional growth, and have a collaborative style of both lecturing and supervising - as I firmly believe students and lecturers have much to learn from each other. I have recently relocated to Cape Town, and am honoured to be a permanent member of the lecturing team at Cornerstone Institute. I am also a part of the case supervision team for the B.Psych Practum."
