Online Therapy
In the year 2020, virtual psychotherapy became essential for millions of people. I offered virtual therapy before then, so the transition of my practice to incorporate virtual engagement happened seamlessly. To this day, about 70% of my practice remains virtual. My clients report that the virtual experience offers them therapy in the comfort and safety of their homes, offices and while on holiday anywhere in the world. No travel time or costs are incurred and they save time. My South African clients who live abroad often tell me that connecting with a fellow South African is of great comfort to them. My international clients simply stumbled upon my website and resonated with my approach to therapy. For most clients, receiving support where they find themselves is comfortable, and despite therapy having been demystified over the years, some clients prefer virtual therapy to avoid bumping into people they may know professionally or personally. Contact me and join me on a virtual journey into therapy.

Testimonials
What clients say
“I was initially quite worried about online therapy but after the 1st session I felt very comfortable. Colleen is an amazing therapist- very intuitive , never judgmental and has a great sense of humour. She has made a huge difference to my life and mental health. It’s been a good journey of healing and learning.“
“My chats with Colleen have helped me to make sense of my healing journey over the past year. Having come out of a divorce due to addiction issues and having suffered from emotional abuse, chatting with Colleen has served as a sounding board to me. Her very empathetic and practical response has assured me that I am indeed on the right path. Thank you Colleen. In todays life, I believe that eveyone needs therapy.”
“Therapy with Colleen has been an invaluable healing journey of discovery. Colleen is non judgemental and creates a safe space to explore emotions and fears. Colleen approaches each session with genuine curiosity and compassion. She asks thought provoking questions which have enabled me to access and process emotions I would normally avoid. Having a therapist like Colleen has allowed me to feel whole and safe in my own skin.“
“I was initially nervous and apprehensive about getting help with my mental health but Colleen treated me with such care and empathy that I felt I had a safe and constructive space to tackle the inevitable challenges that I would face. I believe that Colleen’s impact on my life has been greater than almost anyone’s impact. I could not advocate more for prioritising your mental health and feel that Colleen has the ability to help you through this journey.”

My approach as a psychotherapist could be summarised by the following Carl R. Rogers quote: “Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human.”
