About Dr. G
Since 1985, I’ve been a registered counseling psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (practice no 8616205). Initially, I contributed to the field through teaching at the University of Johannesburg, where I not only imparted knowledge but also provided training for psychologists. While I continue to teach part-time at the university, I have transitioned to dedicating my full energy to running a counseling practice. Operating from the serenity of my home in Morehill Terrace, Benoni, near the golf course, I provide a tranquil setting and atmosphere conducive to therapeutic work.
My Focus & Approach
My focus now is on assisting individuals, including both teenagers & adults, in navigating various challenges that manifest in their lives. These challenges including but not limited to issues such as depression, anxiety, burnout, relationship complexities (e.g. marriage), personal struggles (such as self-esteem & self-confidence) & coping with bereavement. These are pervasive issues that touch us all on a daily basis and I am committed to helping people transform their lives for the better.
I employ a solution-focused approach in therapy, specifically drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Research indicates that this method typically spans an average of 5/6 one-hour sessions, although the duration can vary based on several factors. This approach is inherently positive and fosters hope, offering a hands-on strategy that empowers individuals to transform their lives through incremental changes, resulting in remarkably positive outcomes. I am Fluent in English, Afrikaans and German, ensuring effective communication across diverse linguistic backgrounds.
