Dr. Nkosi's approach is grounded in the South African context — she understands that trauma here is often not a single event but a fabric woven through generations, communities, and systems. She combines EMDR's powerful trauma-processing capacity with Narrative Therapy's emphasis on re-authoring one's story within a broader social and historical context. Her clients describe her as a "safe harbour" — someone who can hold the weight of the hardest stories without flinching, while always keeping sight of resilience, dignity, and hope.
She offers in-person sessions in Rosebank and telehealth across South Africa.
