We are all guided by stories. Some stories we tell ourselves, some we have inherited, and some quietly shape our daily lives. Together, we can uncover these loud and silent stories, creating a space where reflection leads to meaningful action and change. Every journey is unique and I welcome the opportunity to explore yours with empathy, curiosity, and commitment. "How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole." – Carl Jung

I work with interpersonal and relationship difficulties, mood disorders, personality related disturbances, behavioral issues, more severe psychiatric illnesses, grief, trauma, self-harm, chronic suicidal ideation, emotional regulation, sexuality, identity and adjustment difficulties.
Like the ancient art of Kintsugi, I believe that healing is not about erasing cracks but embracing them - filling the broken pieces with resilience, self-compassion and strength. Life's challenges can leave us feeling shattered, but with the self-reflection, self-awareness and the right support, those fractures can become part of a more beautiful, empowered version of ourselves. As a Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals navigate a vast array of mental health issues and life transitions, guiding them towards growth and wholeness. Together we can turn pain into wisdom and struggles into gold.

I’m Brigitte Mentz, a counsellor, mediator, and corporate trainer with a deep interest in leadership, emotional resilience, and personal growth. I work with professionals, leaders, and individuals seeking clarity, confidence, and balance in both work and life. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected, despite outward success, you’re not alone. Many high-achieving individuals reach a point where the demands, decisions, and quiet pressure to keep performing begin to erode their sense of self. My role is to create a space where you can pause, reflect, and realign with who you are and who you want to become.

Counselling is a supportive process led by an empathetic counsellor who helps individuals and relationships engage in deep self-examination, awareness, and healing. I facilitate this journey by delving into the entrenched belief systems that influence behaviours and emotional responses in daily life, ultimately offering support throughout the transformation process. Clients are welcomed into a warm and safe environment where they can freely express themselves at their own pace, without the fear of being judged.

Grief Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
