Your story matters. Ilze is based in Bloubergstrand, CPT with a passion for trauma counselling. Her mission is to help adults navigate the emotional complexities of trauma and everyday life. She has a knack for spotting what’s holding someone back and guiding them with compassion toward a clearer path. She believes in the power of Trauma-Informed Care and use evidence-based practices to create a safe and supportive space for growth and mental well-being. She draws from various counselling methods to empower you to discover your inner strength, helping you move forward with new perspective. You deserve to feel heard and understood.
Trauma can significantly impact both mental and physical health, and her goal is to help you process and organise as you work together. Whether you’re dealing with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), relationship issues or trauma, she tailors her approach to fit your unique needs. When life feels overwhelming, the right support can make all the difference!
Through her own experiences, she has learned that everything she faced in life has helped and prepared her to connect with her clients on a deeper level. Her personal journey inspired her to go into this field, as she saw how putting in the work and being brave moved her from feeling stuck to embracing a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.
