TRE®

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a body-based practice designed to support the nervous system in releasing excess stress and tension.

TRE® does not require talking about past experiences or trauma. Instead, it works directly with the body and nervous system in a gradual and safe way.

About Me

I provide a warm, down to earth and compassionate space for clients to engage with the difficulties and joys of life, and have a passion for innovative approaches to mental health.

Driven by a desire to offer meaningful and transformative mental health services, I pursued additional postgraduate training with the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of South Africa (EAPISA), to incorporate Equine Assisted Counselling into my practice. I have since completed further certifications to add TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) to include a body-based component to my service offerings. I am actively completing a Certificate in Pain Management, to add to my existing ACT For Chronic Pain training.

I offer counselling and TRE® at my private practice in Newlands, Cape Town. Equine assisted counselling is offered at various venues in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.

My approach to counselling is integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies including ACT, EAET, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and body-based somatic work. I combine holistic counselling methods with practical tools and skills to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-awareness. This ensures a supportive, collaborative, and personalized therapeutic experience tailored to each person’s needs.

My holistic approach provides a unique therapeutic experience, combining my counselling expertise with the optional additions of:

  • Equine assisted counselling

  • TRE®
