Ms Chandré Trytsman

Wellness Counselor

“I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Counsellor specializing in children support via play intervention, teenagers and families. With a profound background in education and a personal journey that led me to discover my true passion for counseling, I am committed to helping families and young individuals.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for children, teenagers, and their families. Drawing on my background in education, I understand the unique challenges young people face. For children, I use play intervention to help them express big feelings and navigate difficulties. My passion is to guide families towards stronger connections, equipping young individuals with tools to thrive. This approach fosters lasting, positive change.

Approach

My sessions begin with gentle structure that balances play and exploration while keeping therapeutic goals in view. In Pretoria I offer face-to-face work and online sessions in English, creating predictable routines that help young clients feel safe. I use hands-on activities, drawing, and simple games to help children express difficult feelings, guide teenagers through problem-solving, and invite caregivers into brief feedback moments so progress continues between meetings. Families and young people seeking practical, warm support often find this collaborative pace helpful.
