Samiera Sedick
Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Clin. Psych.
Serves Area
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.

Jacqui Seiler
Social Worker
Serves Area
I mainly focus on these techniques but also offer individual support to parents, couples and families.
Hi, My name is Jacqui. I came upon the decision of going into Social Work and Play Therapy in 2018. What guided me to this decision was the realization that I had a passion for helping people and for working with children. I think my personality is what makes me able to communicate so easily with children. I am a person who is fun, loving and caring and if a phrase could describe me it would be that “I am a child at heart”. What I offer here at Pondering Possibilities is a service that will help you and your child navigate the stressors of life, through activities focused on therapy and play. Look forward to meeting you soon.

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.

Ky The Therapist
General Counsellor, MSc, ASCHP Specialist Wellness Counsellor
Sandton 2191
Many of my clients are capable and high-functioning, yet privately overwhelmed by perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown or repeated relationship patterns.
My approach is structured, engaged and collaborative. Sessions are reflective but also purposeful. You will leave with clearer language for what you are experiencing, stronger emotional regulation skills and concrete tools to respond differently. I support couples working through communication breakdown, attachment dynamics and rebuilding emotional safety.

I work with adults and couples who feel emotionally stuck, disconnected, or caught in painful patterns.
Therapy is a space of careful listening and shared reflection. I work with high-functioning adults navigating emotional distress, life transitions, or a sense of being stuck in familiar relational patterns. Many appear successful and capable outwardly but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath the surface. Therapy offers a chance to slow down, explore these deeper feelings, and find greater authenticity, meaning, and ease in life.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
