Mrs Dianna Butt

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“I am a family and adolescent Counsellor with an interest in solution focused therapy and adolescent development issues.”

About Me

I help families and adolescents navigate their unique challenges. My focus is on adolescent development and solution-focused therapy. This practical approach helps young people and their families explore existing strengths. We collaboratively identify clear, achievable steps forward. This is ideal for those seeking tangible ways to improve communication. We work towards building lasting positive changes in family relationships.

Approach

Working with adolescents and their caregivers, I guide conversations toward practical, manageable changes that build on what already works. In comfortable, in-person sessions in Durban conducted in English, we set concise goals, try small experiments between meetings, and track what shifts relationships and communication. Sessions are paced to suit both parents and young people—direct, respectful, and focused on solutions rather than blame. This way of working suits families seeking clear, steady progress and better day-to-day connections.
