Mrs Hazel-Jeanne Van Zyl

Registered Counselor

“An advocate for basic mental health and well-being, experienced in working with all ages and presenting psycho-education workshops.”

About Me

As a Registered Counsellor, I champion basic mental health and well-being for all ages. I offer a grounded space to explore feelings and build resilience. My approach includes practical psycho-education, providing clear insights for daily use. For those seeking straightforward guidance, I offer an accessible path forward. I aim to help you understand yourself better and navigate life's challenges.

Approach

Advocacy for everyday wellbeing guides how I work: I keep sessions steady, focused and shaped by your immediate goals so progress feels manageable. In my Auckland office, in English or Afrikaans, we move between gentle explanation, short practical exercises and calm reflection, with simple tasks to try between meetings so ideas land in daily life. I pay attention to emotion, routine and relationships—especially during transitions, loss or parenting strains—and tailor the pace to what feels useful and realistic for you.
