Eclectic Therapists in Bloemfontein

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Are your relationship in shambles? Alfred Adler said, Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another. That is what you will find at Heart to Heart. I am a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with more than 40 years of experience in counselling individuals and families through various hardships and traumas. Why don’t you arrange a 10-15 minute Complimentary Session with me to see how online counselling works and if I am the counsellor you are looking for? Whatsapp, email or call to arrange the session.

I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential. I feel honoured to be able to play a small part in helping you rediscover your worth and well-being. I am a Counselling Psychologist who obtained my Masters at the UFS, with over 12 years of experience as a therapist.

Asking for help might be the bravest thing you ever do! Life is a journey that might be hard and even overwhelming sometimes. You may feel stuck and lose all hope. I can provide a safe space where I will listen with empathy and compassion to your life story and help you to make sense of your journey and to heal and grow. Discovering the strengths that lie within yourself can be a rewarding process that will equip you to deal more effectively with life's challenges.

I am a firm believer of the fact that every single person has a life story worthy of being heard. Some stories might seem messy, chaotic and unfinished. Others might seem intriguing, exciting and “figured out”. Point is, everyone has their own story. And as a person who is completely passionate about being a clinical psychologist, I see myself as a friendly, approachable and compassionate human being who will give her best in making this daunting process of seeking therapy a little less scary. I am looking forward in hearing your life story and creating a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and open to share.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” (C.S Lewis) To reach out to a psychologist might feel scary and overwhelming but it might also be one of the bravest things you can do! I am willing to take your hand through your difficulty, and allow you space to talk, to be, to vent and to ask the questions you are so afraid to answer alone. Sometimes therapy can be challenging, maybe overwhelming and at times difficult, but you are not alone and in the end I hope that you can say “it was worth it all”. May this be a meaningful experience for you.
