Therapists in Nkangala

Do you lack energy, the ability to express yourself or do you need to speak to someone in to improve your life? I would love to assist you. I believe that people have the ability to heal and move forward regardless of their past or where they find themselves currently. Therapy looks at the past and coaching looks to the future. I have helped people who struggled with anxiety, depression, making decisions (career and relationship), goal setting, addiction, relationships, sleeping, weight loss, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, hijackings, armed robberies, broken marriages, problems at work or with children and many more.

I am a psychologist specializing with grief, drugs, trauma and stress counselling. I also have an extensive experience in psycholegal work.

I provide counselling services to adolescents, adults, families and senior adults from diverse backgrounds and varying socio-economic contexts.

My approach to therapy includes providing psychological support to people, with a consciousness of their contexts and intersections. Areas of practice include psychotherapeutic interventions for depression, anxiety, complex trauma and post-traumatic stress, psychoeducation and trauma debriefing. I also conduct psychological assessments (career, occupational placement, intelligence, aptitude, personality, neuro, and projective assessments). In my work I advocate for inclusivity and access to mental health and rehabilitation services. I have conducted research around the intersections of identity, personality, power and violence.

Why Counselling? Human beings are sensitive creatures. We are all going through challenges and tough times in life. For each of us it is a unique journey with its own impact, touching parts of our life that are most sensitive. Do you want to embrace life and live it? Do you need changes to be a healthier you? Are you unable to express your emotions? Do you find it difficult to cope with everyday life? Do you feel someone needs to just hold the space for you? Do your emotions paralyze your thinking? I can assist you on your journey to a healthier and happier you.

As a counsellor, I understand that seeking help can be a difficult and vulnerable experience. Therefore, building trust with my clients is of utmost importance to me. First and foremost, I want to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I approach counselling with empathy, understanding, and a genuine desire to help my clients. I believe that every person is unique, and therefore I tailor my approach to meet each individual's specific needs and goals. I also understand that the counselling relationship is built on confidentiality and trust. I take confidentiality very seriously.

Circumstances in life affect individuals on a daily basis, when these issues are left unattended they lead to mental illness which affects the total well-being of a person. You don't have to struggle in silence, share your experience, thoughts, and emotions with me, and working together we can restore hope in your life.

I provide short term supportive counselling, allowing clients a space to get to know themselves better in order for them to make more informed decisions in future. This allows them an opportunity to function at their best.

Wellness is a personal and distinct journey. Our clients are those feeling anxious, burnout, stressed, bereaved, misunderstood, hopeless, stagnant, those looking to rebuild after a separation from a life partner or an abusive relationship. Sometimes one just needs guidance in developing skills beneficial to navigating life challenges.

No matter how difficult life may feel at this moment, together we can discover the solutions and changes that you want in your life. I sincerely believe that using therapy to provide support and assistance in a compassionate, non-critical, understanding environment is my life calling. At Nurturance Counselling Services we value the sacred spaces we create with our clients. We help people to grow, heal and become who they want to be. we believe that people are experts in their own lives and have the resources needed to reach their psychological wellbeing and therapeutic goals. Our job is to facilitate that process.

I am a committed and passionate counselling psychologist that is skilled in working with several types of trauma. Despite been trained in numerous modalities, I have an interest in working from the family systems perspective and cognitive behavioural therapy. However, I am flexible in terms of assessing and utilising other psychological approaches based on the individual needs, the treatment plan and therapy goals. I also do Trauma Debriefs and for large groups, and travel to the client based on their needs. My JHB practice is based in Saxonwold, Surrounding areas include Parktown, Rosebank Houghton, Greenside and Lindin.

I like to work with individuals that realise that they need and deserve help, and someone who is ready and willing to work on themselves. Someone who wants to improve their coping mechanisms, their ability to manage stress, to manage their emotions, to deal with adjustment, to deal with change, to deal with past and current trauma, to learn to love and nurture themselves and improve their relationships wit others. People who want to shift old patterns that no longer serve them.

If there is one thing of which I am 100% sure of (without scientific research) it is that all people in South Africa are suffering to some extent from some kind of trauma or anxiety caused by everyday experiences. What I am also sure about is that this causes immense pain and suffering among people. What makes me feel totally powerless at times is that I know I can help them, but they do not know that help is available. They think that if there is help available, the healing process is slow and hard and that you can never completely heal emotionally. Trauma and anxiety is NOT something people just have to die with.
