Miss Cisca Jansen

Registered Counselor

A safe space for young people to express and explore themselves. Going through counselling does not always have to be hard or scary, to can also be fun.

About Me

This is a welcoming space for young people to express and explore themselves. Counseling doesn't always feel hard or scary here; it can be an engaging, even fun experience. This approach helps young individuals navigate challenges and make sense of big feelings. It's ideal for those seeking support in a gentle, comfortable way. Sessions are designed to help them discover their strengths and feel understood.

Approach

Sessions feel like gentle experiments where curiosity and humour help unlock big feelings. In Cape Town I offer face-to-face and online sessions in English and Afrikaans, keeping pace flexible to school and family rhythms. We use short activities, reflective conversation and simple practical skills, add occasional assessments or family check-ins, and set small between-session steps so progress is steady. This way suits adolescents and young adults who want support that's reassuring, down-to-earth and a little playful.
