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.

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.
Richard James Barker
BSocSci Hons
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

Registered Counsellors are there to help you deal with personal issues before they get out of hand. We aspire to prevent mental disorders from developing rather than treating them once they have developed. We don’t work with people who have a clinical diagnosis, but we are able to refer you to the right type of psychological practitioner who can. I can help you work on areas such as Grief and Bereavement, Self-Esteem and Body Image Issues, Acute Depression & Anxiety, Overcoming Trauma, General Coping and Adjustment Challenges, Behaviour Management (children), and COVID-19 Related Stress

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-

Is life requiring you to make a big change? Have you lost a loved one through death, divorce, or in some other way? Or, do you have to “move on,” but you are not sure how? Perhaps your career has come to a standstill? You know that it is time for a change? The children have moved out? What lies ahead? Or perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with an illness and it’s time to deal with some big questions? How to proceed from here? Perhaps you are just a guy and don’t know what to do with all the feelings and events in your life? Or you’re someone suffering stress and burnout? You've been through too much, seen too much, lost too much?

Jessica Mostert
Wellness is our greatest tool in preventing illness. It is our greatest asset to achieving happiness. So why is wellness not something we all strive for on a daily basis? And I don't mean to be well in the sense that we are free from disease- I mean to be free, healthy and happy in all aspects of our lives: be it social, occupational, physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological. My role will be to assist you in your wellness journey by assessing areas that may need improvement, while always remembering what you are doing right. I also hope to be a sounding board on days that you may need clarity or when it all feels too much.

My ideal client is anyone of 11 years or above who wants change. Any client requesting or attending therapy, I regard as a willing and positive client, capable of change. Someone who is actually already creating part of the change, although he/she might not yet be aware of it. Even people in a lot of emotional pain, reporting for therapy, is expecting something, however small their hope or expectation might be. This includes, anyone experiencing trauma, stress, burnout, grief, relationship issues, challenges of adolescence, abusing a substance or feeling anxious or depressed.
Donnaé Maree Godley
MSocSci
Amidst these times of disruption of the world as we knew it, many are experiencing a deep sense of loss, uncertainty, fear for the future and a sense of hopelessness. Some have lost employment, others have lost friends and family through death, for most, the stability of everyday reality has changed dramatically. Consolidating these experiences, allowing the processes to evolve and find expression, in a holistic and meaningful way, can assist in lightening the load that is ours to carry. In adapting to change we are able to reimagine, see possibility and potential and embrace a new way of being that strengthens our resilience
