Hi! I'm Jamie! I believe that when we practice compassion, we can support the people around us. This means that, within the counselling space I will approach you with openness and understanding. This will allow for the exploration of your personal experiences and the creation of a non-judgmental environment, filled with acceptance and empathy. In this space you will always be acknowledged, and recognize that you deserve to be seen, heard and cared for within a safe space. I work from a systems approach- wherein various counseling techniques are utilized (specifically, the person-centered technique). I am also trained in ABA.

My psychotherapeutic stance is accepting and judgment-free. The therapeutic relationship is essential in effective therapy. Based on this, it is crucially important to get to know my clients on a personal level, and for my clients to get to know me. I position myself alongside my clients to collaboratively formulate a focused treatment plan.

For all the beauty and joy that life has to offer, the modern world is a chaotic and frantic place. Dealing with rent; work; traffic; inflation; politics; existential anxiety etc., the average person has enough going on to warrant immense stress without even accounting for any of the other emergencies and crises that life throws at us. And even after putting a roof over one's head and food on the table, happiness and purpose can be more complex. Figuring out the next step forward can often seem impossible. My passion is in helping you to find the next step, and in helping you to develop the strategies and skills to keep doing so.

Life stressors seem to be amplified at the moment, while anxiety and depression are on the rise. Issues of mental health do not have to be dealt with on one's own. A psychotherapy process can offer support by exploring issues, unlearning destructive patterns and creatively replacing them with ones that promote well-being.

Mutual respect is one of the qualities I regard as an important element of the therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with adults (men and woman) from any cultural background. Languages I am proficient in includes Afrikaans and English. We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
