You might recognise some of this
People usually arrive here not because of one dramatic moment, but because of a pattern that has slowly become normal.
- Lying awake rehearsing conversations
- A racing heart or tight chest with no medical cause
- Avoiding calls, driving, meetings or crowds
- Constant checking, planning or reassurance-seeking
- Irritability that surprises you
- Feeling on edge without knowing why
- Struggling to concentrate or finish things
- Exhaustion that sleep does not fix
How therapy helps
Anxiety responds well to treatment. Therapy works by making the pattern visible — what sets it off, what keeps it going, and what you have started avoiding in order to cope. Avoidance is what makes anxiety grow, and it is usually the first thing we look at together.
The approach is practical and evidence-based, drawing on cognitive behavioural work, relaxation and breathing techniques, and where useful, hypnotherapy. You will leave with things you can actually use between sessions, not only insight.
Most people notice a difference within the first few weeks. How long you continue is a decision you make, not one imposed on you.
What happens in a first session
An ordinary conversation. We talk about what brought you here, how long it has been going on, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different. There is nothing to prepare.
Sessions run about an hour. Most people start weekly and space them out as things settle. Everything you say is confidential.
Medical aid
Contracted to most medical aids and charged at medical aid rates. Bring your membership details to the first session.
In person or online
Sessions are held in the consulting rooms in Kelvin, Sandton, or online — wherever you are in the country.
