Why I Counselling

I have always had the desire to help people become the best version of themselves. Counselling was the natural route I followed as I started studying when it ticked all the boxes I wanted in my profession. With counselling I can walk a healing journey with my client and help them through a difficult time in their life. My goal is to make their life just that little bit easier by being an ear that really listens openly and without judgement. I believe that my client knows what is best for them and I assist them in discovering this knowledge with them. Each person has the capacity and capabilities to ensure they become who they are meant to be. Life will always provide us with challenges, and often we need some assistance to make it through these. That is where counselling can benefit anyone facing a challenging period or situation.

Work experience

I completed a volunteer rotation on the Phelophepha Health Train, Psychology unit, providing counselling and presenting workshops to the Swellendam community.

I worked with a various range of people and areas of difficulties over a 2 year space through a local Non-Profit as well as developed and presented various workshops during this time.

I work with individuals, couples and families from within a Positive Counselling framework, with a Person Centred approach. This means that each session is developed around the specific person and their problems. I make use of Cognitive Behavioural, Narrative, and Mindfulness techniques to assist my clients in reaching their best self.

I have worked closely with clients working through trauma and abuse - often related to Gender Based Violence. Managing support groups and individual counselling. Hosting and presenting Gender Based Violence awareness days to educate the community.

My passion lies in helping people re-discover who they are and realise that they are worth more than what they believe. I fully believe that self-care is paramount to a healthy life balance.
