BSocSci Counselling & Psychology; registered Wellness Counsellor with ASCHP
Swellendam, South Africa · UTC+02:00
I am a registered Wellness Counsellor based in South Africa, providing online counselling to adults, adolescents, and parents worldwide. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-informed, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can explore challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and work towards meaningful change. I have a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology and Counselling and additional training in trauma-informed care, neurodiversity, play therapy, family therapy, and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE). My work is grounded in an understanding of how trauma, stress, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional wellbeing. I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, grief, and the impact of trauma. I also work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, offering an affirming approach that recognises and respects different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world. My counselling style is practical, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, I work alongside clients to better understand their experiences, strengthen resilience, and develop sustainable strategies that support long-term wellbeing. Alongside my private practice, I work within a school environment, supporting children, adolescents, families, and educators. This has provided extensive experience in child and adolescent mental health, emotional regulation, family dynamics, and the unique challenges faced by young people today. I offer secure online counselling sessions in English and Afrikaans, making support accessible wherever you are in the world.
