About Me
As an experienced counsellor, I work with various individuals, including those navigating substance abuse. As author of "How to Live in Happiness and Joy – Balanced your Soul," "Healing we Never Spoke of : Therapy" I help clients discover inner peace. We explore how therapy and soul searching connect, fostering a path towards happiness and joy. My approach offers a calm space for finding personal balance. This can be especially helpful for anyone seeking deep well-being and a more harmonious life.
Branny Mthelebofu is an experienced counselor and mental health advocate working with diverse individuals, including those affected by substance use challenges, emotional trauma, and relational difficulties. His therapeutic approach integrates reflective dialogue, emotional awareness, and culturally grounded healing practices aimed at restoring inner balance and resilience.
As a published author under the pen name Branny Smith, he has contributed significantly to mental health knowledge through books exploring psychoanalysis, marriage counselling, trauma, and emotional restoration. His work, including titles focused on happiness, healing, and soul-searching, emphasizes the connection between therapy, self-understanding, and sustainable wellbeing. Branny believes that peace and therapy are deeply interconnected—true healing occurs when individuals are guided toward emotional clarity, self-acceptance, and purposeful living. His practice is rooted in compassion, intellectual depth, and a commitment to supporting clients on their journey toward restoration and personal growth.
Approach
Seeing therapeutic work as linked to soulful exploration, I guide clients toward clearer values and a steadier rhythm in daily life. In Pretoria or online, in English, sessions move at a gentle, practical pace—short check-ins, deeper reflective moments and hands-on tools to manage stress, relationships and recovery. I often set small between-session practices rooted in breath, journaling or spiritual reflection, and we review their impact together to track progress. This way of working suits adolescents, individuals and families seeking steady change and restored balance.
