Welcome! It’s lovely to have you here. I'm Jordan, a clinical psychologist based in Melville, JHB 🌻 Being human is a challenge for us all.

The journey of life is one of survival, joy, and intense moments of struggle. From those with more severe mental health challenges to those simply wanting to know the workings of their minds more intimately, psychotherapy is an incredible tool to facilitate your own healing and coping with life’s challenges. Part of the joy of therapy is that you and your therapist form an honest and trusting rela

tionship where you can be heard without judgment in a safe space. Many of us carry far too many struggles alone and a safe space can be all you need to overcome some of what you have been carrying alone. Starting therapy can be an anxiety-provoking journey but I hope you can make the jump to finding a space together to allow you the space to grow and heal. I work in a psychodynamic way, which means I focus on patterns in your life, how they may have come about, and how knowing more about them can help you to become aware and either accept these parts of yourself or become energised to find new ways of interacting with the world and yourself. You deserve to choose to work on yourself to find fulfillment and healing.

Mental health multitasking. ✨

Two things really can be true and live side by side. You’re not weird for experiencing both.

The way we phrase things in our minds quietly shapes how we feel about them.

Reframing isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about creating just enough space to respond differently.

It’s a small shift, but over time, it can change how you experience your entire day and even how you see yourself.

Sometimes, a “boring” session is welcome and necessary. You also don’t have to show up with something on your mind to unpack. What needs to come out, will.

Therapy should be a safe space for every stage, crisis or not.

A lot of neurodivergent adults grow up believing they are lazy, dramatic, or “bad at life”.

What often gets missed is the amount of invisible effort it takes just to function in systems not designed for their brains.

An ADHD or autism evaluation isn’t about labelling.
It’s about understanding where the extra weight is coming from, and what support might actually help.

Self-awareness is not a relaxation technique.

It’s noticing the urge to people-please while you’re doing it.
It’s realising why you react the way you do and still reacting anyway.
It’s seeing the pattern clearly enough that you can’t unsee it.
It’s allowing yourself to feel things even when they feel messy.

That discomfort isn’t regression. It’s the part before change.

I filmed this last week, but posting it now seems even more fitting. GBV and femicide have been declared a National Disaster. Thank you, 💜

“Can AI act as my therapist?” This question has surfaced just about everywhere, and it’s obvious why people are curious.

With long therapy waiting lists and costs being what they are, AI seems like an easy solution. It’s there 24/7, judging no one and it doesn’t cost a thing. The appeal is understandable.

But, research shows some concerning insights:
⚠️ AI can’t recognise suic*dal intent
⚠️ No medical or clinical training
⚠️ Validates dangerous thinking
⚠️ No confidentiality

AI offers comfort and validation, which does feel good. But, therapy provides growth and challenges; which feels hard but it lasts. AI and mental health professionals have their place, but we serve very different purposes.

If you’re considering AI for mental health support, think of it like a supportive chat - potentially soothing, but not equipped for the complexities of real therapeutic work.

You’re worthy of genuine connection and real support 💚

Exam stress isn’t a personal flaw — it’s a nervous system responding to pressure. 📚 For many students, the hard part isn’t the content… it’s holding the emotional weight of it.

In this video, I’m sharing a few ways to move through exam season with a steadier mind and body. 🧠

No toxic positivity, no “just calm down.” Just grounded tools: rhythm, structure, spaciousness, noticing what’s happening inside you, and making room for it without shame.

Stress is information. It tells us what matters, where the stakes feel high, and what support we may need.

You can care deeply about the outcome and care for yourself in the process. 🤝 Both get you further.

Save for when things feel loud. 🔖

Therapy isn’t just about your feelings — it’s about your therapist’s, too. Countertransference happens when your therapist’s emotional responses towards you become part of the process.

When managed well, it can be a powerful tool:
✨ Frustration might mirror how others experience you
✨ Protectiveness may point to unmet needs from childhood
✨ Surprise can reveal unspoken emotional cues

Good therapists:
✅ Notice and reflect on their responses
✅ Separate what’s theirs from what’s yours
✅ Use those insights to deepen the work
✅ Keep boundaries intact while staying human

But when countertransference isn’t managed, it can complicate things: oversharing, avoiding hard topics, extending sessions unnecessarily, or taking on too much responsibility for your progress.

That’s why therapists have supervision and often see their own therapists. It helps them stay grounded, keeping their humanity as a guide, not a distraction.
