Mr Byron Werbeloff, BA
Specialist Wellness Counselor
Verified“I recognise that each person’s journey in counselling is different, and I therefore take an individualised approach to my work. I place strong emphasis on warmth, empathy and creating a space where clients can speak openly and honestly about what they are experiencing. At the same time, I believe effective counselling involves more than simply being heard; it can require us to examine difficult patterns, challenge our perspectives and consider what needs to change. Having worked with hundreds of clients, I draw on this experience to help individuals better understand themselves, navigate challenges and work towards meaningful change.”
