Changes Rehab

Christianne is skilled in a number of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT and Brain-Work Recursive Therapy. She also has an interest in expressive therapies that involve dramatic arts and theatre.

At Changes she provides individual and group therapy to clients, manages crisis intervention, provides support to families and serves clients’ other therapeutic needs in collaboration with the rest of the multi-disciplinary clinical team.

She has done a significant amount of volunteer work including with The Green Bag Project which advocates for people who are living homeless as well as promoting the provision of toiletries to the homeless community in Braamfontein.

“I love working with patients to turn ‘can’t’ into ‘can’, and helping them reframe how they view the world so that they can start building a strong foundation for hope.”

Clients Questions

How does Christianne help families who arrive exhausted and confused?

Christianne starts by stabilising the emotional temperature, clarifying what is actually going on and helping families see where they have power and where they do not, which is often the first relief they have felt in years.

What is her approach when a patient insists they do not have a problem?

She does not waste energy arguing about labels; instead she explores consequences, patterns and contradictions, allowing people to confront the mess in their lives without feeling publicly humiliated.

How does she bring trauma and mental health into addiction work?

Christianne pays close attention to histories of loss, abuse and untreated mood problems, and she integrates that into treatment so substances are not treated as the only thing that ever went wrong.

What can you expect from ongoing sessions with Christianne?

Expect a mix of empathy and challenge, practical homework and honest conversations about how your behaviour is either feeding the illness or helping to contain it.

How does she support people after discharge when real life hits again?

She focuses on relapse warning signs, relationship dynamics and practical problem solving, helping people adjust plans instead of waiting for a full collapse before asking for help again.
