About me

I specialize in Couple and Marriage counselling - infidelity and betrayal; blended families; divorce mediation and single parenting.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Together we will work on resolving conflict and learning new coping skills for the stressors of life. I am South African, but I have lived and worked in many multicultural settings which has equipped me with compassion and understanding for differences in culture and beliefs. My life experience as a wife, mother, grandmother and educator, along with a passion for healing of the hurting and wounded, has been the driving force for my career as a marriage and family therapist.

I specialize in couple counselling, divorce and blended families as well as mediation.. I favour Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman for couple counselling. I incorporate a family systems model in the therapeutic setting using attachment based and solution focused theories. . If you are a couple in crisis as a result of infidelity or betrayal, we will navigate this together. Whatever the problem or the outcome.. there is hope, a new day and a new beginning....

I provide confidential sessions with flexible times. Problems in your marriage? NO problem is too small or too big. Infidelity and betrayal does not have to be the end.

Looking forward to meeting you!

So far Louise has showed some great expertise in a few Therapy sessions we have had and she is very experienced, calm and I can recommend her any time of the day to anyone without any doubt or hesitation that they'll say the same if not more.

Karin is very good at figuring out what damage control needs to happen and so far hasn't given up on my husband who has made this journey extremely difficult for her.

My new husband and I have been meeting with Karin for about 4 months now and look forward to our weekly sessions.

Her positive feedback even when we’re struggling is so beneficial. She makes both my husband and I feel equally heard and supported and she’s given us some excellent tools for dealing with tough situations when they arise .

We’ve seen improvements in our communication, our patience, how we handle tough topics and every session, even the tough ones , Karin helps us to walk away feeling loved from each other, confidence in our marriage and tools for the days / weeks to come.

I was extremely sceptical of the whole idea, but to be very truthful, Karin has shown an excellent ability to help me look at things realistically and unbiasedly, with rationality and as a sceptical person, she has proven me wrong about this therapy to date

She has given me new perspectives. However, I don’t feel validated by her.
