With over 20 years of dedicated experience in the field of addiction treatment, I have developed a profound understanding of the complexities of addiction and its impact on individuals and their families. Throughout my career, I have worked in nearly every private addiction treatment center in Cape Town, providing counselling to a diverse group of clients both locally and internationally.

Professional Experience

I served as a senior counsellor at Rustenburg Addiction Care, a prestigious centre owned by Dr. Rodger Meyer. Prior to that, I was the Clinic Manager at Seascape House Addictions Treatment Centre, another esteemed clinic under Dr. Meyer’s leadership. My journey also includes being a senior counsellor at Stepping Stones Secondary Care Facility, The Beach House, and working at Tabankulu Addiction Centre. Currently, I am the Clinical Manager at Hillhouse Clinics.
