Hi, I’m Melissa Hattingh, a compassionate counsellor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I offer a fresh perspective and a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and valued. As a registered counsellor with CPSC, I can integrate Christian principles into therapy for those seeking faith-based guidance, while also offering a holistic approach tailored to individual needs. My practice is built on four key principles: creating a safe space, personalised care, compassionate listening, and holistic well-being. I'd be honored to support you on your journey to healing and growth.
I offer a wide range of services to support individuals on their journey. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: Addiction counselling, coping skills development, eating disorder support, burnout prevention and management, personal growth exploration, relationship counselling and teenage counselling.
I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and understanding as you navigate life’s challenges and seek meaning in your journey.
Take the first step to help. Melissa Hattingh now
