Ms Carline Janse van Rensburg, BA

Wellness Counselor

“I am a compassionate counsellor following a multi-disciplinary approach including DBT skills to build distress tolerance, incorporating emotional regulation and mindfulness that leads to interpersonal effectiveness.”

About Me

As a compassionate counsellor, I guide individuals to build resilience and navigate life’s challenges. My multi-disciplinary approach, including DBT skills, helps you manage difficult emotions and distress. We explore mindfulness and emotional regulation, leading to improved interpersonal effectiveness. This supports clearer communication and stronger relationships. My aim is to equip you with practical tools for lasting wellbeing.

Approach

Together we focus on practical skill-building that helps you manage intense moments and steady your emotions while strengthening how you relate to others. Sessions in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, move at a pace that suits you: structured skill practice, reflective conversation and clear takeaways to try between meetings. I blend calm pacing with measurable steps so parents, teens and individuals can see small shifts that add up. This way of working often suits people seeking clear tools and kinder communication.
