Life Coaching Therapists in Cape Town

Zain Julies
Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Couns. Psych.
I help adults with anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
The clients I tend to work with are thoughtful, capable adults who have often been carrying a great deal for a long time. They are not looking for quick fixes, but for a space where they can slow down, reflect, and better understand what they are experiencing. Their goals are often to regain clarity, develop healthier ways of responding to stress, and feel more grounded in their lives and relationships. At the heart of this work is the need to feel heard, make sense of difficult experiences, and reconnect with a stronger, more compassionate sense of self.

Feelings of dread making it difficult to experience life.
Based in Neuroscience, RTT changes neural pathways. Change directed by the conscious mind has its limits. Will power alone can’t break the chains of bad habits or fears. That’s why we find ourselves making the same New Year’s resolution time and again. To change we need more than just will power and logic. We need to go into the cellar of our mind.
