Mrs Anneri Pretorius

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor committed to helping people learn how to "know yourself" in a deeper, more meaningful way and to build a healthier better you. My work focusses on targeting trauma, loss & grief, stress, anxiety, emotional control and personal growth.”

About Me

I help you navigate challenges like trauma, stress, and anxiety by fostering a deeper understanding of yourself. We’ll explore your inner world together, uncovering patterns and building healthier ways to manage emotions. This process helps you develop resilience. It’s ideal for those ready to embrace personal growth and build a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Approach

You’ll notice our work moves at a steady, curiosity-led pace, gently tracing how past hurts influence present reactions while we practise small skills for handling feelings. Sessions in Middelburg or online, in English or Afrikaans, are conversational and practical — we use short exercises, breath or grounding between sessions and reflective tasks to keep change active. I hold both safety and challenge so your insight becomes usable in daily life. This approach suits people ready to make small, reliable shifts toward steadier emotional balance.
