Ms Juliet Maake

Registered Counselor

A Registered Counsellor with special interest in trauma and related difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, loss and grief, relationships.

About Me

When trauma, stress, or anxiety weigh heavily, it can feel overwhelming. As a Registered Counsellor, I specialise in supporting adults navigating these difficult feelings. We will work together in a calm, focused space to explore your experiences. My approach helps you make sense of your emotions and develop practical ways to manage them. This can lead to greater stability and peace in your daily life.

Approach

When difficult memories or overwhelming feelings surface, I guide clients through steady, practical steps that help them name and contain what’s happening. In my Boksburg practice and online I work in English, Sesotho, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, isiXhosa and isiZulu, setting a pace that suits adolescents, adults, families or groups. Sessions blend gentle grounding, focused exploration of triggers and patterns, and simple between-session practices—assessments for children are used when clarity is needed—all tailored to reduce overwhelm and strengthen daily coping. This way of working suits those who want practical tools and reliable emotional regulation.
