My ideal client is anybody who has suffered with a mental health issue such as, depression, anxiety, eating disorder, trauma, difficulties with a relationship or a desire to truly self actualize. This client is truly fed up and ready to heal or doesn't want to waste time just growing in awareness, but truly wants to see shifts in patterns of behavior and thinking.

Do you feel emotionally overwhelmed, like your mind just won’t switch off? Do you replay conversations, carry past hurt, or feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe you struggle to set boundaries without guilt. Maybe relationship stress, family pressure, or life demands leave you feeling drained and stuck. If you’re longing for peace, clarity, and a stronger sense of self, this is a safe, grounded space where you can unpack what you’re carrying and begin to feel emotionally steady again.

Once we can identify the 'WHY', I introduce other therapies, like ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR to assist with healing.
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

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from their bodies, their desire, or their sense of safety. There's a conversation most of us never learn to have — about desire, about shame, about feeling at home in your own body. I create space for it. You might be struggling with anxiety around sex, difficulty communicating your needs, or feeling unsure about what you want. I offer sexual wellbeing counselling in a supportive, non-judgmental, and kink-affirming space. My work is especially suited to individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of self-doubt, or disconnected from their bodies.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
