Therapists in S4R

“I… need… help…” can be three of the hardest words to say, and It's no secret that life throws a seemingly endless supply of challenges at us until we are so overwhelmed that, before we know it, we endure hardships navigating our relationship with ourselves and those that we care for and love.

I am a clinical counsellor with over 30 years of experience. I was trained in clinical pastorate through the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa and gained experience in the fields of personal counselling, marriage counselling, sex therapy, family therapy, grief and loss therapy. My training and experience were established in a variety of settings. I was involved as a counsellor in the Military and Pastoral/Congregational settings, doing marriage and family system therapy. I am also well experienced in working with challenges relating to stress, anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, self esteem and past abuse recovery.

Hi, I'm Michelle, a Clinical Counsellor welcoming new clients. Life's challenges, from stress and past traumas to relationship issues, can deeply impact us. Therapy empowers us not just to overcome difficulties, but also for transformative self-discovery and growth. Our minds and bodies are intricately connected. Taking a holistic view allows you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, which considers the interplay between your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physical sensations. By integrating these aspects, we cultivate resilience and live with greater ease.

It's hard to navigate through life with feelings of anxiety & depression, relationship issues, the inability to set proper boundaries with others, or struggling with low-self worth. Our life experiences can have an effect on us in unexpected ways. The feelings of sadness, anxiousness, overwhelm, distress or being stuck can seem to have a life of their own, causing us to feel helpless, frustrated or confused. I want you to know that you're not alone & there are ways through counselling to help support you in finding your way again. My goal is to help clients get to the root of their struggles and to develop a healthy sense of self.
