I believe that people can overcome difficult circumstances. We never, ever have to stay where we are. My life story is a testimony of restoration and healing. Sometimes we just need someone to come alongside of us to help us see the open doors and realise that our mountains are not that big. I also believe in a systemic approach. We are made up of our past and our present, we are body soul and spirit and we find ourselves in living breathing systems – families, marriages, friendship circles and workplaces. All of these influence our thinking and our believing. This is where a second pair of eyes – that of the counselor – can be so helpful. Counseling is not fixing. Counseling is helping a client dig deep into their own set of resources to find their own solutions.

My passion is to help people find insight and awareness into self and thereby be part of the process of healing their lives. Life brings all sorts of challenges that at times we cannot deal with alone. A holistic approach that includes body, soul and spirit is necessary so that the person can receive healing as a while and live an optimal life. My heart is to nor only help people individually through counseling, but also to help them relationally so that families can thrive and negotiate life’s challenges successfully.

HOW WE WORK
Some frequently asked questions
How many session do I need?
Treatment plans depend on the individual needs of the client. We often recommend 4 sessions to gather information and to formulate themes to be looked at. Further sessions can then be negotiated and if necessary a referral will be made.
What can I expect from counseling?
We work holistically and believe in psycho-education helping the client gain insight into self as well as the challenges they are facing. We will facilitate the process of understanding triggers, look at poor coping mechanisms as well as how to set goals to achieve a positive outcome.
Can I claim from the medical aid?
We are contracted to the Board of Health Care funders. If your medical aid plan supports counseling or you have a savings plan, you will be able to claim from your medical aid.
Do you prescribe medication?
We are not qualified to prescribe medicine. Should you feel it is necessary we will refer you to an appropriate specialist.
Do you do clinic submissions?
We can refer clients for admissions however we will first put the client in contact with a clinical psychologist to handle the admission. A multidisciplinary team will work with the client at the clinic.
