My psychotherapy approach is client orientated, integrative and has a holistic focus. I utilise knowledge, tools and techniques from multiple psychotherapeutic approaches to understand the cause and perpetuating factors contributing to my clients’ difficulties. This allows me to work collaboratively with them, to help them work through and overcome their problems. My focus emphasizes balancing clients’ psychological, emotional, relational and physical well-being to help them learn to manage all aspects of their lives. My aim is not only to help my clients, but to give them the tools and insights they need to notice problems arise.

I believe everyone has the ability to create a life worth living, yet modern life often presents us with challenges that feel overwhelming and prevent us living congruently with our authentic values. Whether you are navigating a sudden crisis, managing a chronic condition, or want to better understand yourself and your relationships, psychotherapy can be a catalyst for insight, relief, change or resilience. I don’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach and use evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.

I can also draw on CBT, DBT, narrative & trauma-focused work when it helps.
Maybe you have been holding it together on the outside while feeling quietly undone inside. Maybe you are exhausted by the same patterns, the same arguments, the same low mood or anxiety that never quite lifts. Or maybe you cannot fully name what is wrong, only a sense that something could be different.

Mosiwa Maselesele
Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Couns. Psych.
It is of great importance to me to create a safe environment for my clients to work through their everyday difficulties. Life is tough but so are you. You do not have to walk this journey alone, let's walk it together to ensure that you are functioning at your best and reach your fullest potential. Tribulations and shortcomings should not be given the power to define and dictate how we live our lives but rather let's take our power back and use it to optimise our daily functioning through counselling. One wise person once said: "If it is out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind too." Grow through what you go through.
