About
Mariska Marais-Morkel
Mariska provides therapy and support to individuals dealing with symptoms of depression or anxiety, uncertainties about the future, stress management, crisis and trauma counselling, as well as those navigating the process of loss, grief, and bereavement.
She is a registered social worker in private practice with over 12 years of experience in various areas of social work. Throughout her career, she has worked with a diverse clientele, and during her time in palliative care, she discovered that therapy is her niche.
Approach
Mariska believes that healing is a multifaceted journey, encompassing physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. It is important to view each individual as a whole, with the utmost respect for their unique circumstances, histories, narratives, and beliefs. Every person should have a safe space, where their race, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and culture are embraced.
Mariska is a person-centered therapist with a narrative approach. She has a calm nature and is able to create a non-judgmental environment, acknowledging the client as the expert in their own journey.
