This page lists Male Counsellors in Sandton. 6 in all.
That is 6 of the 18 counsellors listed in Sandton.
These are practitioners who identify as male on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a man.
Identifying as a man is a different thing from working with men's concerns. A client and a practitioner always differ, whatever they share 2.
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.
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. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Male identity and the professional title counsellor.
The Sandton page answers more questions about therapy there.
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). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.
In South Africa psychologists and social workers must be registered to practise. No statute protects the plain title counsellor.
What these practitioners record
The areas of focus listed most often here are Life Transitions (4), Grief & Loss (3) and Family Issues (2).
