Change is a process not an event. Our life's keep on happening and we keep on growing as we live towards our full potential. Life is tough! We all need someone in our corner at times. The coach in the corner, or next to the field, cannot participate for you. However, they can make a big difference in how you experience the event!

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist and I am passionate about my work. I am inspired by diversity and the strength of the human psyche. Every day brings new people into my life that enriches me as a person and therapist. The relationship I have with my patient is of great importance to me. My aim is to help the individuals find a sense of self amongst the disarray of their symptoms. The self so easily gets misrepresented by symptoms and the true person does not have a voice. I want help you to find your voice! Let me join you in your process.

Hi there! I am an HPCSA Registered Counsellor working with adults, teenagers and I have a special interest in working with parents and providing post natal support. I work with challenges that people experience such as stress, adjustment difficulties, trauma, bereavement, etc. Further to this my aim is to increase coping skills and life skills such as emotional intelligence, self-esteem, communication skills and conflict management to name a few.

MY PRIMARY EXPERTISE AND FOCUS IS ON THE EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY FAMILIES LIVING IN ADDICTION AND ASSISTING THEM AS PERSONS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, NOT TREATMENT ADJUNCT. THEY NEED UNDERSTANDING AND GUIDANCE OF ADDICTION AND RECOVERY AS WELL AS ACQUIRE CONSTRUCTIVE COPING SKILLS AND PERSONAL HEALING. DEALING WITH TRAUMA ISSUES I WORK ON DEBRIEFING AND SUPPORT AS WELL AS TRAUMA INCIDENT REDUCTION WORKING TOWARDS SYMPTOM RELIEF AND MORE CONSTRUCTIVE COPING AND FUNCTIONING.

I am a qualified Counsellor, registered with the HPCSA and the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I also hold a qualification as a nurse, so my passion has always been working with individuals during difficult times. I have run a private practise since 2007 and I am fully bilingual (English and Afrikaans). I offer both face to face and online counselling.

I believe that my role is to facilitate healing, growth and increased self awareness in my clients. This comes from my understanding that as people we face different life challenges and are often in conflict with the everchanging circumstances of our lives. We all use different coping skills to adapt to life and at times our coping skills are not sufficient and we are left feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. Mine is to journey with you through your process in identifying obstacles, removing of symptoms and lessening the pain while positioning yourself well within important social systems for self fulfilment.

My name is Danica Freimond (pictured on the right with my husband, Sean). I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. I work from the person-centred approach and place a high value on your innate ability to change and grow. Just because we cannot see a mental health problem, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental health should carry the exact same weight as a broken leg; you wouldn't walk around on a broken leg, don't walk around with untreated mental health problems; reach out for help! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" C. R. Rogers

An unexpected event that led to trauma- Loss and grief- A sudden disinterest in activities that mattered- Major life changes crippling the decision making process- Or simply seeking effective ways to personal happiness? These are all normal life events that when steered correctly may transform the ways we think and live.

Following my internship I was fortunate enough to gain experience in a number of contexts. This made me appreciate clients from many different backgrounds with varied issues. The services I offer in my practice are aimed at adults who have a strong need to address whatever challenges they are facing in a way that will allow them to live a more meaningful and authentic life.
