She completed her master’s degree at the University of the Free State with Cum Laudé in 2015. As a distinct student throughout her studies in psychology. There’s a continuation of excellence in her work in psychology with every one of her patients.

Monique has a passion for therapy and uses a holistic approach to engage and resolve her patients’ challenges. She believes that every client is unique and has different needs.

She focuses on positive psychology outcomes and equipping individuals to move forward in life with new skills. Her focus is on unlocking every individual’s potential and helping them identify it in themselves. The commonality of every patient is their shift in focus of positivity. It is a crucial improvement that Monique instigates and facilitates.

Since every patient has their own unique characteristics. The pace and acceptability vary from patient to patient. Monique puts every effort to transition the patient seamlessly into a constructive state of mind to encourage a healthy progression.

Positive psychology does not focus on merely fixing problems, but on searching and introspecting every perspective that is identifiable through every senses. A change in perspective is a change in the value of what makes life worth living for.
