Elders (65+) Therapists in Wapadrand

I have been involved in the addiction treatment field since 2001, first working as a lay counsellor and then completed a social work degree in 2012, I have a passion for assisting others to enter into and sustain recovery.

I work predominantly from a systemic approach. This approach considers people in relationships, dealing with interactions, interactional patterns and the context in which this occurs in. I take special care in forming a genuine connection with my clients and place importance on creating a warm, empathetic environment in order for optimum personal growth and healing to occur.

In the more than 30 years of working with people from all walks of life, I know that we all have a need to live a life of meaning and purpose. Our day to day journey is seldom without challenges – emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Each of these challenges have a lesser, or more severe impact on the quality of our life - on the way we feel about ourselves, regarding our relationship with others and our spiritual growth. Although we do not always want to admit it, we all are wounded in some way. I do believe that the best gift you can give yourself in life, is to strive and work towards becoming the person you are meant to

I see normal people with normal problems. We all need someone to talk to from time to time to be assisted, advised and encouraged to deal with life transitions and challenges. I am an experienced psychotherapist and in private practice for 20+ years. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and groups, works client- and solution focused. It is important to me to strengthen strengths and coping skills that clients do have to positively empower them to face the challenges that they experience.

I work with individuals who wish to use their innate psychological strengths to enable meaningful growth, empowerment and goal realisation. It is important to me that psychological engagements are meaningful, create positive challenge, and lead to real growth, and personal exploration between sessions. I work with you to understand what is important to you and why, and then create a joint plan of action to help you move from a state of languishing, to one of flourishing. I do not do quick fixes, however, I also do not believe in engaging in more sessions than needed.

Over the years I have trained to become a Clinical Psychologist, I was intrigued by the studies in the field of Psychology on how they conceptualize psychological and psychiatric problems. Through the experience in the field I have realized no single theory can be expected to explain the complexity of an individual’s unique mind. I am working with individuals, adults, couples and families to allow reconnection to hope and humour.

Hi there! I am an HPCSA Registered Counsellor working with adults, teenagers and I have a special interest in working with parents and providing post natal support. I work with challenges that people experience such as stress, adjustment difficulties, trauma, bereavement, etc. Further to this my aim is to increase coping skills and life skills such as emotional intelligence, self-esteem, communication skills and conflict management to name a few.

As a therapist I solely believe in the following: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it’s faced” - James Baldwin. I have confidence in the fact that each of us has an inner voice, the necessary strength and ‘resilience’ to become the best versions of ourselves and to conquer life’s challenges, we just need a little bit of love and guidance to help us out of that ‘lost’ feeling.

My clients usually find themselves at life transitions or emotional crossroads. They face problems like low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bipolar mood disorder, eating disorders, early childhood trauma, difficult life choices, early or mid-career stress, burn out, relationship difficulties and conflict, divorce, traumatic life events and grief.

I am a registered counselling psychologist in private practice in the east of Pretoria. I believe that each individual has the inherent ability and resourcefulness to find solutions for the challenges that life may present. I follow an integrative approach with a focus on developing psychological flexibility. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples and offer both short term and long term counselling/therapy.

The beauty of therapy is that it can be helpful to everyone. Therapy is designed to assist people with a wide variety of issues from grief, job stress and relationship hurdles to personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. There is no set type of person that needs to be in therapy. You will be given a safe and protected environment to explore your most vulnerable emotions, memories, actions and thoughts. Sometimes you may laugh or you may cry, but you can expect therapy to be a space dedicated to you. It allows the freedom for self-exploration and healing without judgement or restriction.

I am a firm believer in Heal - Grow - Thrive. I am passionate about people's well-being and believe everyone deserves a chance to better themselves. Counselling is all about working on yourself for yourself. I believe clients should set their own counselling goals as they know themselves best. However, when setting these goals, every step they give towards their goal, small and big, should be acknowledged. I don't view my clients as having issues or problems but rather life challenges, and to that I say.. let's face them together! Note: if I didn't answer the phone call, it means I am in a session, WhatsApp me on 066 096 7219.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist who welcomes all individuals to my practice. Everyone’s emotional well-being and mental health is important; regardless of your race, gender/gender expression, religious beliefs, or physical attributes. I offer psychotherapy to individuals (children included)/couples/families and groups. To me, psychotherapy is a collaborative process that assists with facilitating self–and-emotional awareness, insight development, empowering autonomy, providing psychological support through the process of self-actualization. In other words, psychotherapy facilitates GROWTH!
