Hello

WELCOME TO THIS COUNSELLING SPACE. In this space you can feel safe, held, supported, loved. In this space you can explore, discover, grow, and heal. Your own unique healing journey lies at the heart  of all counselling sessions.  

 

MY APPROACH. I am committed to supporting development and health of the whole human person ~ body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit. My counselling approach is integrative, holistic, and systemic. I provide comprehensive professional counselling for individuals of all gender and cultural affiliations. The counselling process is organic, collaborative, and non-directive.

 

Through a process of compassionate enquiry, I facilitate non-judgemental discussion and exploration of whatever you wish to explore in an online holding space that feels safe and secure. Through this process, your unique needs at all levels will be addressed. My approach is Self-affirming. I focus on reinforcing a positive self-identity built on compassion and resilience. During the course of your coaching process, growth and insight, deeper self-understanding, self-empowerment, and resourcefulness will be experienced. Previously untapped resources, strengths and skills will be developed. 

 

​HOW IT WORKS: All sessions are conducted online, in the comfort and safety of your own home, via WhatsApp video call. The financial investment is R400 per session. A comprehensive process typically requires commitment to 6 to 12 one-hour counselling sessions, conducted once a week. This allows time for activation of dormant capacities, healthy integration of new insights, and the initiating of new choices and actions in everyday life. Because processes of healing and growth are unique to individual clients, all counselling processes will be adjusted to suit individual budgets and lifestyles, providing single (once-off) sessions where necessary.

​​

I am patient, compassionate, and consistently available for all my clients.
