Therapy with Farhana
Your Partner to Heal, Grow and Thrive
I work with professionals, managers, creatives, and high-achievers - individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions, difficulties or a desire for growth, want to make sense of what’s happening and create meaningful, lasting change.
You might be navigating a major transition, relationship strain, burnout, or just sensing that something in your life isn’t working the way it used to. You’re ready for things to feel different—more grounded, more aligned, more like you.
Life is unpredictable. Whether is has thrown a curveball or you want grow, to heal, to understand yourself more deeply, you are in the right place.
My clients often come to me for support with anxiety, imposter syndrome, stress, trauma, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life-stage transitions, blended families, and emotional overwhelm.
I offer a calm, supportive yet no-nonsense space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what’s really going on, and most importantly make changes. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, shift the patterns that no longer serve you, and help you feel more like yourself again—clearer, more grounded, more connected.
Whether you're working through something difficult or simply ready for a new chapter, we’ll work at your pace, in a way that feels meaningful and supportive.

Couples Therapy
I work with couples looking to rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection. We always start at creating connection and understanding before we can address hurts and "issues".
I am a highly trained Couples Therapist. I have trained in Emotional Focused Couples Therapy, The Gottman Method and many other modalities. Ps if you are looking to use therapy to fight, I am not the therapist for you, I always say, you can fight for free at home.

Who am I
I’m a registered psychologist based in Johannesburg with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and couples through meaningful, life-changing therapy.
My work combines traditional psychotherapy with modern, brain-based approaches like BWRT®, Brainspotting, Tapping, Constellations. and nervous system regulation — so clients don’t just cope, they shift at the root.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, or relationship challenges, therapy with me is a space for deep healing, clarity, emotional strength and real transformation.
I’m especially passionate about helping high-functioning individuals and caregivers reconnect with themselves — calmly, gently, and without pressure to “push through."
There are very few, if any, therapists trained in the width and depth of the skills I am trained in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I expect In a Session?
Sessions are tailored to your needs, using talk therapy and brain-based techniques. I am extensively trained and my focus is around that creating real shifts. Therapy is a process, so you need to commit for it to be effective and you to see the changes you desire. It's not always easy, but it will be so worth it! If you are truly ready to heal and grow, and do the work, I am definitely for you.
Couples Therapy
I have a few options available for couples therapy.
The Gold Standard is my 2 day Process. And I encourge you to start here. Connection is key to a lasting fulfilling relationship, and the foundation to addressing any issues that you may encounter. This is R20 000 and includes a report. From here you can then opt for the 100 min sessions for maintenance or to address the niggles.
There is also the bi-monthly 100 minute sessions (R3200), we first do the intake sessions.
Please do not just schedule for couples work, but send me an email: [email protected]
Is this Right for Me?
If you are ready to explore you, and have deep transformation and lasting change, I am for you. I do not work with abusers, children or teens, and those not already in a growth mindset, and open to the understanding that change is really possible.
I work with couples and adult individuals.
I use a combination of talk therapy, coaching, mentorship and brain-based tools, as well as my training as a couples/relationship expert in my work.
My sessions are more expensive than the average therapist because of my extensive training and expertise. You need to be able to afford weekly sessions (even if our schedule only allows for bi-monthly sessions).
What is the cost of the sessions, and do you take medical aid?
I am a cash practice. You have to pay upfront and then you can submit the statement and claim back from medical aid.
Sessions are R1600/50 minute. All therapy requires regular sessions to be effective.
Please see the couples therapy information to find out the rates for those.
A note about my Background (and why I have this question)
Recently I have had an increase in the queries from the muslim community, some have the awareness of who I am, however some expectation based on my name. So, I thought to share more about me...
I have a really rich heritage of Muslim, Jewish and Christian ancestry, and grew up in a very liberal home.
My own beliefs and practices are agnostic/spiritual at best, and my life does not fit into any specific culture or norms. I am a global citizen and have the attitude or what is the healthiest and most freeing way in life as my foundation.
If you are specifically looking for a muslim therapist, I am probably not the best fit for you.
