Ego Down, Soul Up RealTalkWithRini / Counselling & Transformative Coaching for Adults & Couples Life isn’t always tidy, and sometimes, it takes more than just willpower to get through what we’re facing. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship breakdowns, or simply feeling stuck, the truth is: we’re not meant to heal alone. I’m Rini, a registered counsellor with the HPCSA and a certified transformative life coach. Through RealTalkWithRini, I offer grounded, compassionate, and honest support for adults and couples who are ready to face life’s challenges head-on — with courage, clarity, and purpose.
My work is rooted in real talk — no masks, no fluff, no clinical coldness. Just honest, collaborative sessions designed to help you unpack what’s weighing you down, reconnect with your inner truth, and find lasting relief. You may be navigating: Trauma (past or recent) Substance abuse or addictive behaviours Anxiety, depression, or burnout Relational Issues
If you’ve been holding it together for everyone else… If you're tired of performing "fine" while quietly unraveling… If a part of you is whispering, “It’s time”, listen. You don’t have to do this alone. You were never meant to. When you're ready, I’ll be here, not to fix you, but to walk beside you as you remember your way back to your authentic self.

I offer flexible payment options and a sliding scale to keep therapy within reach. You can submit invoices to your medical aid for reimbursement, just a heads-up, that's only through your savings, since I don't work with PMBs. I am not married to the DSM-5.

I believe healing happens when you're seen and heard as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. That's why my approach is person-centred and holistic. I don't use one method for everyone. Instead, I blend different evidence-based therapies, like CBT, DBT, psychoed, bla bla. Do not worry about treatment styles, thats my work, you just need to show up.
