I have experience in helping clients with challenges relating to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief - as symptoms of existing conditions, and/or as responses to circumstantial stress.
My approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, as well as an overarching concern with holistic wellbeing (psychological, physical, social, spiritual etc.). Most notably, my treatment approach is not confined to sessions, but rather extends into daily life through "homework" - involving the use of skills and strategies developed in-session.

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma that has deeply impacted their lives, whether it's rooted in childhood experiences, relationships, or other significant life events.
Life, from time to time, can become a struggle for all of us, and often we feel the desire to reach out for some understanding or companionship. However, we still live in an age where seeking support or help is often regarded as a sign of weakness. I believe the complete opposite. To seek out help and support in your darkest hours in order to better understand yourself and overcome your difficulties is a sign of true bravery and courage. By reaching out, you take the first courageous step toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength.

I help women shift the deeper patterns behind anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, trauma responses, emotional looping, and identity struggles.
You may be self-aware, capable, and have spent years trying to understand yourself, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in the same patterns. I work with women over 40 who sense there is more to them than the roles, expectations, pain, and stories they have carried. Together, we explore what lies beneath these patterns, so you can remember who you are beneath the conditioning, pain, and stories that caused you to forget and begin your return to yourself.

You may be wondering about or struggling with life issues, chronic illness, anxiety, mood disorders or even with others in your life. If you experience relational difficulties, loss or problems with love, therapy may be beneficial to you. Or you may not have these issues but want to feel more grounded and have pressing questions or feel uncertain in which case you could also benefit from therapy. As I am in Auckland New Zealand, I am only available for pnline sessions.

I am a registered counselling psychologist in private practice. I believe that each individual has the inherent ability and resourcefulness to find solutions for the challenges that life may present. I now combine my approach to therapy with nature. More and more research has found that spending time in nature has significant mental health benefits. For example, spending time in a natural environment has been linked to a decrease in anxiety, a reduction in depression, diminishing stress, better emotion regulation, and an increase in positive emotions.

I mostly work with neurodivergence, chronic pain, bipolar, depression, anxiety, personalities, schizophrenia, and trauma.
Hello and welcome to my practice. My name is Monique Botha. I am a clinical psychologist, who finds meaning in walking with humans as they navigate life. The humans who come to my practice are often carrying a great deal, even if it does not always show on the surface. Many arrive feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves, their bodies, or their relationships. They are not looking only for symptom relief; they are seeking understanding, safety, and a space where they can make sense of their inner word. Should you wish to start your own journey of healing, know that you don’t need to to do it alone. <3

Social Worker
Pretoria 0002
I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. The first thing I often tell new clients is this: at some point, my hope is that you won’t need to see me anymore. That might sound like a strange thing for a therapist to say, but for me, that is the heart of the work. My role is not to keep you dependent on therapy, but to facilitate a process where you feel heard, understood and accepted — while also helping you reconnect with yourself, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and build the practical skills to move forward with more confidence.
