3. Therapeutic Approach

Grace's approach is gentle, affirming, and grounded in the belief that every woman already has the strength she needs — therapy is simply the space to reconnect with it. She uses EMDR to process the trauma that keeps women stuck in cycles of fear and self-blame, while her person-centred foundation ensures every client feels truly heard, perhaps for the first time. She is particularly skilled at working with women who have been silenced — whether by culture, family, or their own internalized shame. Her clients often say that working with Grace felt like "coming home to themselves."

She offers in-person sessions in Sandton and telehealth across South Africa.
