I am a Counselling Psychologist with a passion for human relationships and supporting people. I am mindful that the lives we lead may be influenced by the quality of relationships we have with others. I am devoted to promoting the mental health of others and empowering them to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. It is deeply fulfilling for me to witness people thrive and grow personally. I feel privileged to experience and to have the opportunity to provide a safe, holding space for people to share in their joys and achievements but also collaborate with them to explore aspects of themselves and resolve their challenges.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who works integratively. I offer support, presence and understanding with the hope of helping the clients to get insight into their psychological processes with regards to emotional functioning within the context of their situation.

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.

I am passionate about helping people and guiding them to become better versions of themselves. My one focus is Women’s overall wellness; in ALL aspects of her life and in turn, a positive effect on her relationships. Her sexuality, self-esteem, emotions, intuitions, sensations, experiences.......; all uniquely intertwined, that makes her distinctively “Her!” You have a life story; not only comprising of your past but also connecting your dreams and expectations for the future and then the current reality of your present.

I am a therapist who work with individuals. I see children, adolescents and adults. Each patient is a person with a unique biography which include both their joys and struggles. I focus on the person and through our relationship I do my best to help them to understand their thoughts and feelings and to get to know why they feel and behave the way they do. On our journey together we explore whatever they bring, be it a thought, a feeling, a relationship, a dream, a stuckness or a symptom. Therapy, like other relationships, can be difficult. The difference is that this relationship’s purpose is to bring healing and acceptance

Being a teenager, student or young adult can be exciting phases in one's life. However, due to the rapid changes and challenges in these phases, they can become some of the most overwhelming phases of life. Teenagers and young adults can feel like they are sometimes thrown into the deep end and are expected to swim without the guidance, support and tools to be able to swim successfully. Wellness counselling encourages self care and healthy living, where clients participate in their own healing. As a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I aim to offer empathy, a listening ear and a guiding hand to facilitate self care and healing.

I am a qualified Counsellor, registered with the HPCSA and the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Trust the process of healing: a Person’s life experiences directly impact on their overall wellbeing.  When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for our lives to unravel. Often underlying emotional problems need to be addressed before a lasting improvement in a person's quality of life can take place. Christel completed her internship at 1 Military Hospital where she was exposed to various aspects of psychodynamic imbalances and trauma-spectrum manifestations within a diverse demographic and cultural client base.

I work with people of all ages – children, adolescents and adults – dealing with a range of psychological and psychiatric difficulties that include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma and changes in mood. My passion lies in working with adolescents and young adults, providing a space where my clients are able to engage freely from a position of safety. I also have a keen interest in working with victims of cybercrime related to extortion. My belief around running my practice is quality over quantity, as I place significant value on both the time I can offer my clients and a deep engagement in the overall process.
