My ideal client is anyone of 13 years or above who wants change. Any client requesting or attending therapy, I regard as a willing and positive client, capable of change. Someone who is actually already creating part of the change, although he/she might not yet be aware of it. Even people in a lot of emotional pain, reporting for therapy, is expecting something, however small their hope or expectation might be. This includes, anyone experiencing trauma, stress, burnout, grief, relationship issues, challenges of adolescence, abusing a substance or feeling anxious or depressed.

Greetings, I am a middle aged Psychologist working in Private Practice. I have a number of years of experience in working in both private practice and recovery centres. My office is located in the beautiful, serene and discrete Harkerville area (between Knysna and Pletternberg Bay). I am also able to do home visits or sessions via Zoom.

Relationships are hard and sometimes the breakdown is sudden, but it is often the slow erosion over the years of missed moments of connection, little things not done, disconnection, loneliness, and resentment. You've possibly tried numerous approaches to reaching your partner or saving the marriage. With specialized insight into understanding your patterns and tools to help you rebuild your relationship, you get to redefine and rebuild your safe space at home. Our sessions are longer (90 minutes instead of 60) to allow us to get deeper sooner, and I offer intensives (3 hours or longer), to go even deeper sooner.

I am mostly a systems theorist. I believe if we can heal the system that impact you (past, present, family, health,spirituality, trauma, relationships) you will be able to move at your own healthy pace toward strength and victory. I work attachment-based as I believe our family or origin is the classroom where we were taught how to do life and relationships. Unlock that and you have the key to why you battle where you are now.

I am a compassionate registered counselor, who understands that one of the most difficult and longest journeys in life, is from the head to the heart. The journey into the heart is the future and our only way to create the future. I am an experienced trauma counsellor and in my practice, I work from an integrative holistic approach: mind, body and spirit (I call it the mystery). I have a person- centered approach, am trained in Brainspotting (trauma reprocessing), solution focused, IMAGO couples counselling techniques, EQ development etc and ready to gently journey with you to wholeness and wholehearted living. Bon Voyage!

LIFE IS FULL OF DIFFICULTIES you have to meet them, greet them and defeat them! Perhaps you are feeling negative, or struggling with low self-esteem? Maybe uncontrollable anger rises up or perhaps highly irritated without reason, then read on... It could be that you have unresolved conflict issues from childhood, or current stresses in this unprecedented time of Covid19 in your life, which needs to be addressed. It is time to off-load and find the freedom you have been searching for.

People can feel overwhelmed at times by the daily stress of life and problems can seem insurmountable. Speaking to a trained Counsellor like me can help you overcome life's challenges and help you make positive changes in your life and relationships.

Life can be full of important, painful and challenging relationships, and for me psychological support is a relationship experience that can lead to insight and positive change. I have a diverse range of interests, and I enjoy working with infants, children, adolescents and adults. I have experience in providing both psychotherapy and psychological assessment.

Feeling anxious and unsure what the next step is? Finding it difficult to relate to your partner? Are your kids acting up? Is your mother in law overly toxic? want to start but just can't! struggling to stay motivated?

COVID-19 and lockdowns create lots of uncertainties on top of our existing worries. How are you managing? I've been in practice for more than 18 years and work with young adults, adults and couples. I have a lot of experience working with many problems that make life difficult, such as depression and anxiety. I understand the ways in which they overwhelm us. Let me know if you're tired of putting up with them and want to bring change into your life. Lockdown means that our therapy will be online. This does work really well. If you’re unsure ask me for a 15-minute online meeting to get the feel for it.

At times life may leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed, seeking to find wellness as you feel unable to cope with daily demands, financial stressors, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, bereavement or life adjustments (relationship, employment, or health changes). Struggling with intra- and interpersonal difficulties and looking for personal development and a way to achieve holistic wellness. This can be done through supportive therapy which assists clients to gain new insights into themselves & current difficulties and equips them with skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Life, from beginning to end, is one long exercise of constant change, new learning and the choices we make. The sum total of that is what we call 'my life'.

I see children, adolescents and adults. I have a particular interest in supporting families, whether parenting, managing life transitions, adoption, relationship or family struggles, dealing with chronic or life-threatening illness. I have many years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, and working professionals.

Counselling has become a part of my life and I believe that we should all strive to be our true authentic self. Counselling is not just a career but a calling where I can see how my purpose fuels my passion. Working as an effective, competent counsellor is what drives the level of integrity and willingness to see a difference in clients’ lives. Therefore I am dedicated to provide psychological services to individuals, toddlers, adolescents, young adults, adults, groups, couples and families. My aim is to create a space where clients can be their authentic self's.

I have been in practice for over 20 years, seeing adults, teens and couples for psychotherapy. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy which is informed by attachment and infant research into how the mind develops and best heals within the context of a therapeutic relationship.

Are you wanting to feel happier and to see changes in your life? There are times in life when we face challenges that we cannot cope with alone. Have you been feeling down or depressed, unmotivated, anxious, unable to cope with stress, or 'stuck'? Have you experienced incidents or traumas, recently or in the past, that have had a negative impact on you - your emotions, self-esteem, or your feelings about the world in general? Friends and family can be very helpful in their support, but sometimes we don't feel able to open up to them, or we need more than what those around us are able to provide.

I am committed to providing accessible psychological services which focuses on support and promoting well-being to individuals, families and groups. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process and I use interventions that best suit the needs of the client to focus on what will bring about the most meaningful change in their lives. Areas of interest include personal growth and identity development, family relationship struggles, adjustments difficulties, loss and bereavement, trauma, self-esteem, bullying, stress, burnout and lifestyle management, self-development, dealing with divorce, and step-family integration.

I have always loved listening to clients and allow them the space to share their problems, concerns, dreams and challenges. Counselling people comes naturally to me. Whilst working in Corporate HR, I witnessed employee's mental illness ranging from anxiety, depression, employee stress & burnout. Careers that are not satisfying, have lead to disillusionment & loss of interest. Further interests: helping clients & their families faced with incurable diseases, Dementias, Grief and Loss, End of Life Counselling. (not limited to aforementioned) www.lynettewoodberg.com
