Mrs Annie Byrne

Psychological Counselor

“Holistic therapist offering online sessions for women seeking deeper self-connection and healing. I integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy and somatic body work.”

About Me

I am a Registered Counsellor and Psychological Counselor in Claremont, Western Cape. I provide counseling for relationship issues, life transitions, body image, LGBTQI+ needs, and identity concerns.

Approach

I take a non-traditional approach to therapy, blending traditional talk therapy with: Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic body work , alongside my own intuitive body wisdom.

Healing isn’t just about talking; it’s about reconnecting with yourself on every level.

I offer online therapy to support you in navigating both your inner and outer worlds with compassion and clarity.

~ I believe in self-love & self-trust—working with me means learning to deeply honour yourself and step into your own healing power.

~ It is my deepest honour to walk alongside women ready to do the inner work and hold space for their healing & growth.

Our sessions can go beyond just talking (if you want them to) — I can also utilize:

Meditation & visualization
Breathwork & somatic practices
Journal prompts for deeper reflection

My goal? To help you feel empowered—to take what we explore in therapy and integrate it into your real life.

I see you as you are. With deep empathy, I reflect back your truth and guide you toward your own inner wisdom. You already have the answers—I'm here to help you access them.
