This page lists Counsellors in Randburg. 8 in all.
What a counsellor does, and how counselling differs from psychotherapy
Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems 1.
The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.
A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe or diagnose. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.

Who registers therapists in South Africa?
The title you will see is Registered Counsellor. Search the register by name at Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). A current entry is that body's own published record of the person.
In South Africa psychologists and social workers must be registered to practise. No statute protects the plain title counsellor. See the South Africa page.
