What is counselling?

Counselling is a type of talking therapy that gives you a confidential, dependable space to talk through difficulties, experiences, and emotions. A counsellor is trained to listen with empathy and to help you make sense of what you are going through, including the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Does counselling help?

Yes. Counselling has been shown to be effective in supporting people with anxiety, depression, and related concerns. It can be an empowering process that helps you understand yourself more clearly and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

How do I know whether I need counselling?

Many people benefit from counselling because it creates space to understand yourself better and build new skills for navigating life’s challenges. Counselling may be especially helpful if you experience any of the following:

Do you take medical aids?

My practice is a cash practice. This means you pay the session fee directly, and I provide an invoice which you can submit to your medical aid for reimbursement (if you have funds available). I am registered with the major medical aids.

How many sessions do I need?

This depends on each client and the concerns you are bringing. My approach is to empower clients so that therapy is not something you need to rely on long-term, but rather a process that equips you to carry the work forward independently.

Some clients benefit from a short-term process (often around 3–6 sessions), while others may need more or less. This is discussed in the initial consultation and we agree together on frequency and a plan that balances therapeutic needs with practical considerations.

Where are you based?

I have rooms at The Corner House, Morningside:
504A Lillian Ngoyi Rd (previously Windermere).
Secure underground parking is available and can be accessed via Hamden Rd.
