Welcome. I’m Palesa Monkhe, a registered Counselling Psychologist. I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally burdened by anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. You may be carrying work stress, questions of identity, recovery from addiction, or the weight of social and systemic pressures, and longing to feel steadier and understood. I offer a compassionate, relational space where you are met with care, dignity, and support as you move toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life that allows you to thrive.
I offer evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy in a warm, collaborative space. Grounded in a strength-based and relational approach, with an interest in post-traumatic growth, therapy is shaped around your story to support healing, resilience, insight, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel daunting, especially when experience has taught you to carry things alone. You don’t need to have the right words or answers to begin. Therapy can be a space to pause, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself. When you’re ready, you are welcome to reach out.
