Benita Southgate
Counseling Psychologist
“Over 20 years experience offering safety, acceptance, warmth and a shared journey from crisis to self-knowledge and growth”
About Me
I offer a warm, accepting space where we can gently explore what brings you to therapy. I support individuals navigating life's challenges, helping them move from crisis towards self-understanding. Together, we make sense of your experiences at your own pace. This shared journey fosters lasting personal growth, equipping you with tools for greater confidence and clarity.
Approach
Sessions are shaped around what feels most urgent, paced gently so you can notice small shifts and build trust. Whether we meet in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, I keep the space predictable and respectful of your rhythms. We focus on gentle reflection, mapping recurring patterns and testing small, practical experiments between meetings to work through transitions, grief, relationship strains or trauma, turning understanding into manageable steps. People who want steady, collaborative progress tend to find this way of working helpful.
