Therapeutic Support

---

 I offer crisis intervention, trauma debriefing, and support for depression and/or anxiety. However, therapy is not exclusively for those experiencing a specific crisis or struggling with a particular challenge; it is also a journey towards overall wellness for anyone who values their personal growth.

I allow a safe and therapeutic space for clients to express and explore their emotions, self-awareness and insight. Additionally, I provide support and therapeutic interventions to help clients understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This includes guidance in breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and containment.

The ultimate goal is to assist clients in improving their mental health, fostering personal growth, and enhancing overall well-being 

I provide essential emotional support by cultivating a safe space for individuals to express and navigate their feelings in the wake of significant life changes, losses, or the death of a loved one. Through grief counselling, I guide clients in comprehending and coping with the diverse emotions associated with grief. I offer personalized coping strategies, facilitate exploration of the meaning of the loss, and provide practical guidance to help them find a path towards healing and adjustment to life without their loved one.

I assist in building a support network and connecting clients with resources that can contribute to their overall well-being during this challenging time. My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to assisting individuals through their journey of grief and healing.

I provide empathetic support to the elderly, recognizing and addressing the unique challenges they may face, particularly when family or friends live far away or are not providing the necessary support and understanding regarding their specific needs during this phase of life. My goal is to offer a comforting and therapeutic presence, assisting them in navigating various aspects of their emotional well-being. Whether it's coping with loneliness, managing life transitions, or simply having a supportive person to talk to.

Families are welcome to reach out to me if they wish to arrange support for their elderly family member. Additionally, for those within the Helderberg Area who are unable to travel, I offer the flexibility of home visits or visits at frail care facilities. This way, I can provide assistance and companionship directly in the comfort of their living environment. Together, we can work towards enhancing their overall mental and emotional wellness, fostering a profound sense of connection and compassion.

As an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist, I provide unwavering support for individuals navigating their unique journeys, addressing the impact of societal stigma on mental health with cultural competence.

In this safe environment, clients can authentically express themselves, whether you are seeking support for identity exploration or mental health concerns within the context of LGBTQIA+ experiences. I also extend support to those with LGBTQIA+ family members, fostering understanding within family dynamics.

Recognizing the ongoing nature of the coming-out process, I offer guidance and empathy. Acknowledging the intersectionality of identities, therapy is tailored to address unique challenges. If you are already out and proud but seek a therapist who is LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive, I can provide that space for you. In this journey of self-discovery, my goal is to offer compassionate guidance and understanding, creating a space for solace and empowerment.
