Mrs Elri Flamengo

Counseling Psychologist

“I have a passion for assisting and supporting families, children and adults through difficult times. Online and face to face consultations.”

About Me

I am passionate about assisting families, children, and adults through difficult times. My aim is to help you process challenges and find clearer paths forward. If you are navigating stress, big emotions, or family changes, I offer a calm, supportive space. Choose convenient online or face-to-face consultations for accessible support when you need it most.

Approach

I start by gently mapping what’s happening day-to-day in your family, work or sport life so we can spot where small shifts will matter. In my Langebaan consulting room or during online sessions in English or Afrikaans, we move at a practical, steady pace—sometimes using play, behavioural experiments or brief between-session tasks to test new ways of relating and managing urges or triggers. The work is collaborative, trauma-aware and goal-focused, helping parents, athletes or adults build clearer routines and safer connections that feel sustainable.
