Mrs Delia A. Strondl

Registered Counselor

“Counselling (in person or online) is a means to better the way you manage emotions and reactions to everyday and exceptional circumstances.”

About Me

This counsellor offers a supportive space to explore how you manage emotions and reactions. They guide individuals in developing practical strategies for navigating life's everyday and exceptional circumstances. Sessions are available both in person and online, offering flexibility to suit your needs. This approach helps clients respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, fostering greater emotional well-being.

Approach

Counselling supports changes in how you meet daily pressures and sudden challenges, and I shape sessions around clear, manageable steps so you leave with something to try between meetings. In Cape Town or remotely in English, we work at a steady, practical pace—short check-ins, focused conversation, gentle skill-practice and occasional assessments to clarify learning or developmental needs. The work is collaborative: you set the priorities, we map small experiments and review what helps. People juggling work, family or study often find this way of working useful.

Services

I work with people who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—whether with partners, parents, friends, or themselves. Together, we explore what shaped these patterns—and what you actually need to feel safe, seen, and supported. Therapy with me is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in nervous system awareness.
