Therapists in Nelson Mandela Bay

Hi thank you for your interest in my profile, I would really like to help you get into recovery and can assure you I will make this journey as pleasant as it is rewarding. I have first hand experience and knowledge of addiction and it’s crippling effects, not only on you but on your loved ones and friends. Let’s break free from its grip and make the one thing you wish for a reality. Sobriety, and the ability to drop the monkey and finally LIVE, make memories and enjoy the beauty that life has to offer. It appears an impossible task now, however that’s the disease talking, don’t listen to it. Join me and we WILL break free.

I am passionate about mental health and through therapy I seek to positively transform lives and ensure holistic growth for individuals. The approach that I often use is informed by the client’s presentation and needs. Seeking psychological assistance is a brave step that shows strength rather than weakness. People continuously strive to better themselves and I am happy to provide a safe space that allows them to do that.

I offer counselling and life coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel confused. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and be able to see what started it. Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and my purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find success, purpose and meaning in your life. I will be with you all the way

I am 100% invested in each of my clients. I value building a healthy and unique relationship with each person I work with. I have worked primarily with people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and substance abuse issues. I offer support and care, as well as practical guidance to help you make a difference in your life and relationships. I know firsthand how frustrating and hopeless it can be to feel like you are going around in a never-ending negative circle. It is not something you have to do alone, I would love to walk beside you and support you in becoming a better version of yourself.

I am passionate about helping people thrive in their own unique way. I strongly believe that no matter what life throws at you, your strengths and resources will not only help you get back up, but will help you live a fulfilling life. I have worked primarily with adults who experience anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, bereavement, and trauma. I use Person-centered therapy as my foundation, CBT, Narrative therapy and Solution-Focused therapy techniques

Are you looking for individual, relationship or group counseling? I provide counselling service’s personalized to each client to guide them through their challenges and making sense of the thoughts and emotions. I aim to create a space in which clients can explore and challenge themselves in pursuit of their counselling goals without feeling judged. I provide my services to clients both in-person as well as online in order to overcome barriers such as distance and busy work and life schedules.

Life can be tough. We live in a world with so much pressure on everyone, young and old. There is so much pressure and expectations to be and behave in a certain way, with little room to check in with ourselves. Amid all of this we are sometimes confronted with challenges that disrupts us in ways that we cannot cope by ourselves, and we need some support. As a therapist, it is important for me to create a space where each individual feels comfortable and safe enough to authentically share their experiences and challenges without fear of judgment, irrespective of their beliefs, backgrounds or the social systems they are part of.

If you are feeling stuck in life and have no sense of life purpose then you have come to the right person. I will help you to discover and unleash your full potential or to at least get you out of the hole you currently feel like you are in. Maybe you don't have the strength or motivation to carry on with life after having lost a loved one. I understand your pain fully and will help you navigate your way and forge a new path for your life. If you are struggling with trauma, that's an area I'm most experienced in. Do not hesitate to book an appointment.

I typically find tremendous reward in helping people, from children to adolescents and adults who experience difficulties in dealing with life crises from personal identity to addiction. I also work with trauma debriefing and counselling and psychotherapy in individual, group and marital contexts. I have a lot of experience in dealing with psychometric assessments for educational placement purposes as well as neurological assessments.

With the ever-changing, fast paced and demanding world we live in, living in “harmony” is becoming more challenging. All we may need is to make sense of, refine or redefine how we live, work, socialise and express our core purpose. My life and work experiences create the space for conversations of “discovery and expression” – no matter who you are or what you are going through.

Life over recent years has changed dramatically. The fast pace of development in technology is further influencing and changing how we work, live and socialise on a daily basis. As the day-to-day demands increase, we need to develop skills and find ways to consistently deal with everyday challenges which at times, can feel overwhelming.

I believe that each person is an incredibly unique and complex being. I do my utmost to fully understand who you are. Whether you have a specific goal for therapy, or whether you are sitting with a vague sense that something in your life is just not right, I want to help you understand it. I believe that people's experiences of relationships play a role in how they view themselves and others. I therefore prioritize creating a safe space to explore your concerns.

I specialize in the treatment of all intrapsychic and interpersonal issues that a person may be experiencing - such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, anger issues, issues related to self-esteem, work difficulties, bereavement and relationship issues etc

Sometimes family life with children and teens can be stressful. I am here to journey with your child, teen and yourself to assist to make daily functioning less stressfull and more enjoyable.

My services include but is not limited to psychological assessment for various learning difficulties, exam concessions, subject choice and careers guidance as well as therapeutic support for children and teens struggling emotionally.

I believe that mental health is an integral part of our well-being which is underpinned by an appreciation of the intricate interplay between the mind, environment, and physiology. Life challenges should not steal your joy but rather be an opportunity for personal growth. I believe that attitude is key therefore changing your perspective about life is a big step towards healing and living a better quality of life. Just like physical health mental health is something to be celebrated and worth investing in. -Carpe Diem-

I see a range of clients, including those that are generally happy and successful in their lives but are facing a challenge with relationships or work and need some extra support in that area. Part of the work I do is to teach skills to help my clients move forward to be where they want to be. Ultimately, mental health and wellness is the focus.
