“Mental health Counsellor focussed on helping individuals understand their difficulties and equipping them with the necessary skills to cope better with their relationships with self, children and others.”
About Me
As a Registered Counsellor and Conscious Parent coach, this practice helps individuals understand their difficulties. The focus is on equipping you with practical skills for navigating all your relationships: with yourself, your children, and others. Sessions offer a supportive space to explore challenges. You'll gain tangible tools to cope better, ideal for those seeking deeper understanding and effective everyday strategies.
Approach
You’ll find sessions are hands-on and solution-focused, helping you pinpoint the patterns that influence parenting, close relationships and emotional balance. Sessions run in English from Durban or online across South Africa, paced to fit adolescents, adults, parents and couples so work feels manageable. I combine trauma-aware, neuro-focused techniques with coaching-style check-ins and short between-session exercises to shift automatic reactions and build everyday skills. This approach suits people navigating anxiety, grief, burnout or child behaviour who want practical, steady change.
