Ms Elize Steyn

Counselor

“A competent counsellor that works with your requests (trauma, anger, bullies, emotions , inner conflict, negative emotions etc.)”

About Me

This counsellor offers a supportive space to explore what feels most challenging. They gently guide individuals grappling with trauma, anger, or the impact of bullying. Together, you can address difficult emotions and resolve inner conflict. Sessions are designed around your specific requests, helping you make sense of complex feelings. This collaborative approach is ideal for anyone seeking clarity and practical ways forward.

Approach

When you bring requests about anger, trauma or the fallout from being bullied, I focus on practical steps and quiet exploration that help you untangle what feels stuck. In my Rustenburg practice I offer sessions in Afrikaans or English that move at a steady, gentle pace—using play and simple assessments with young people, and skills-focused conversations and short between-session exercises for older clients. We set small, achievable goals and review progress together so you leave each session with something tangible. This approach fits people seeking clear, steady change.
