Ms Janine Giannini

Registered Counselor

“I have 14 years of experience with trauma, stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. My goal as a Resisted counsellor is to help guide each person to a balanced and harmonious lifestyle in a non-judgmental, empathetic and safe environment. I also specialize in working with business leaders and entrepreneurs.”

About Me

With 14 years' experience, I guide individuals navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. My aim is to help you find a more balanced, harmonious lifestyle. I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic, and safe space where we explore your difficulties. This approach particularly supports business leaders and entrepreneurs seeking calm and clarity in their demanding professional lives.

Approach

When we work together I focus on steady, practical steps that help you feel more grounded and clearer in your responses. Sessions in Sandton or via secure online calls, in English, are paced to fit demanding schedules and often move between focused quiet attention and brief, active interventions. I track how your body and attention respond, introduce short practices to try between sessions, and revisit what shifts. This approach tends to suit leaders and entrepreneurs wanting discreet, efficient support to regain calm and clarity.
