What the counsellors on this page do, and how to choose one
The counsellors listed in Sandton for family relationships offer talking sessions of about an hour 1. Counselling usually runs weekly, for a set number of sessions.
Assessment, diagnosis and medicine sit outside counselling; ask who provides them where you are. Open the profiles below to compare experience, language, fee, and whether they work online. Ask how soon each one can see you.
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.
What this page filters on

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.
