I was born and raised in South Africa, and have also spent the majority of my adult life there. After being involved in a different career I completed my B. Psych and Master’s degrees in clinical psychology at the Nelson Mandela University (NMU) in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Up until my immigration to New Zealand at the beginning of 2022, I was in private practice at one of the acute private hospitals in Port Elizabeth. I am passionate about people and the profession of clinical psychology. Adding value to people’s lives fulfils me. I strive living an authentic and balanced life, and I’m a proud dad to my amazing almost teenage son.
