My ideal clients are individuals and families facing the emotional and psychological challenges of child abuse, custody disputes, and family trauma.

Their needs include addressing complex family dynamics, understanding the impact of abuse, and prioritising the best interests of children and the Voice of the Child. They want a safe space to heal, grow, and receive expert guidance to navigate legal and emotional challenges. I have satellite offices in Pietermaritzburg, Hermanus, George, and Brackenfell for Forensic Services.

Nuzel Botha
General Counsellor, BSocSci Hons

I strive to create a warm and comfortable environment in which you can feel accepted & free to express your deepest feelings, thoughts and fears. Through narrative therapy, in which you tell me your life story, I help you become the hero, and survivor instead of the victim. My goal is to uncover opportunities for growth and development, find meaning, and for you to understand yourself better. The aim is to separate the individual from the problem, allowing you to externalize your issues rather than internalize them. As counsellor I provide vital support as you make your way through this journey of self-actualization and growth.

General Counsellor, MSc, ASCHP Specialist Wellness Counsellor
Serves Area
If you are looking for therapy that goes beyond simply asking, “How does that make you feel?”, you are in the right place. I work primarily with adults and teens navigating anxiety, relational trauma and identity transitions. Many of my clients are capable and high-functioning, yet privately overwhelmed by perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown or repeated relationship patterns. With a Master’s degree in Neuropsychology, I bring a strong understanding of how the brain, nervous system and early experiences shape present-day behaviour. In therapy we look beneath the surface of these patterns.

Magda Visser
Registered Counsellor, BSocSci Hons, HPCSA - Counsellor
I have been a Trauma Counsellor for the past 14 years. During these years I have come across a whole spectrum of humanity’s struggle to find meaning in their suffering, from reinventing life after losing a loved one, or going through divorce, or couples attempting to save a marriage, to teenagers navigating stormy seas in their attempt to manage every day life. I believe in the ability of people to not only survive trauma, but also - by finding a way to cope during times of difficulty and understand the way these events affect us. When trauma crosses our paths we need to discover new ways of living a fullfilling and rewarding life.

Whether you are processing a deep loss, navigating couples' conflict, or seeking personal growth, you want a space that honours your unique story while providing the clarity and tools needed to move from overwhelm into a life of purpose and balance.

Psychological distress often presents quietly. It might be persistent anxiety, a low mood, relational strain, trauma, or a gradual sense of disconnection from yourself and your direction. At pivotal moments, thoughtful and skilled therapeutic support can create the space for clarity, recalibration, and deeply meaningful change. I maintain a practice model that ensures therapeutic depth, attentiveness, and genuine engagement in the therapeutic process. You can expect to be met with warmth, discernment, and respect - your inner world approached with care and thoughtful curiosity. A journey of discovery and understanding together.
