My approach to therapy

Sometimes referred to as an “Instigator” for her Hability to push people into meaningful confrontation with self and others, Tawanda is an eclectic Solution Focused Therapist.

What you can expect from me

Tawanda engages with individuals and groups in an intimately honest dialogue to normalize the nature of intra and inter-personal relationship dynamics. “If you choose to participate in human relationships you must learn to be an effective people manager.” She is most often recognized for her candor and “no holds barred” attitude towards finding positive solutions to challenging interactions. Her motto is “Therapy should feel like talking to a good friend over a great cup of coffee”.
