Miss Claudia Schonfelder

Registered Counselor

“Registered Counsellor offering virtual sessions from a solution focused approach. I have special interest in working with parenthood issues, addiction and child behaviour challenges. I also offer support groups for parents.”

About Me

Navigating the complexities of parenthood, addiction, or child behaviour can feel overwhelming. I provide a supportive virtual space where we work together using a solution-focused approach. This helps you develop practical strategies for immediate change. I have a special interest in supporting parents and individuals facing addiction, offering both one-to-one sessions and dedicated support groups. My aim is to help you build confidence and find clear, actionable steps forward.

Approach

In virtual sessions I keep things practical and task-oriented, focusing on clear next steps you can try between meetings. From my base in Pretoria I meet online in English, pacing sessions to suit busy parents, individuals in recovery, and families so we cover what matters without overwhelm. We map patterns around parenting, addiction or child behaviour, design small experiments, and review what changed to refine the plan. Many clients juggling care or recovery find this steady, hands-on rhythm useful.
