Your Counsellor ~ Quanta Leigh Henson

WELCOME
WELCOME TO THIS COUNSELLING SPACE. Inside this space you will feel safe, supported, heard, and seen. Inside this space you will explore, discover, grow, and heal. Your own unique healing journey lies at the heart of all counselling sessions.
MY COUNSELLING 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, religious, and cultural affiliations. Our counselling process together will be experienced as organic and collaborative, providing gentle guidance where needed.
Through a process of compassionate enquiry, I facilitate non-judgemental 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 strength, compassion and resilience. During the course of your coaching and counselling process, growth and insight, deeper Self-understanding, Self-empowerment, Self-care 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, with discounts offered for commitment to pre-paid packages . A comprehensive process typically requires commitment to at least 6 one-hour counselling sessions, ideally conducted once a week (with discounted packages offered for pre-paid commitment to 4 sessions, 6 sessions, 8 sessions, and 12 sessions). Commitment to regular sessions conducted over an extended period of time is important for healing, granting you time to access dormant capacities, integrate new insights, and initiate new choices and actions in everyday life. Because processes of healing and growth, and financial budgets, are unique to individual clients, sessions may also be conducted once every two weeks. Counselling processes will be adjusted to suit individual needs, budgets, and lifestyles.
MY QUALIFICATIONS. I am a mature counsellor, mother of one adult child. I have personally pursued a lifelong study of literature, philosophy, and human psychology, with a special interest in Jungian, Existential, and Gestalt psychology. I have completed Honours degrees cum laude in both Counselling Psychology (UNISA) and English Literature (University of Natal), and over 220 hours of internship training under Humanitas Training, Supervision & Counselling Services. I am registered as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor with the Association for Supportive Counsellors & Holistic Practitioners
(ASCHP ), membership number SWC 25/9935. I specialise in Trauma-informed Counselling for Individuals and Couples, focusing on Self psychology and processes of Reparenting, Individuation, and Self Actualisation. I draw equally upon somatic (body-focused) and narrative (mind and emotion-focused) techniques, tailored to meet the needs of individual clients.
