Mrs Karin Tissink Smit

“My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to cope with what they’re carrying. Many of the people I work with describe feeling “not enough,” drained, unheard, or disconnected from themselves. Others come to me during difficult life transitions, grief, family stress, or when emotions feel confusing and hard to manage. If you’re wanting a space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with who you are, you will likely feel at home here. As a Specialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP), I offer a warm, safe, and confidential space where you can speak openly without judgement. My approach is gentle, honest, and deeply respectful. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are and walking with them at their pace. My work is informed by my own counselling journey, which taught me the value of being truly seen and supported. I help adults with emotional overwhelm, stress, anxiety, low self-worth, grief and bereavement, trauma support, relationship patterns (individual work), boundary-setting, and life changes. Together we explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a way that brings clarity and helps you understand yourself more deeply. My goal is to support you in building healthier coping skills, strengthening your sense of self, and creating a life rooted in authenticity, kindness, and genuine connection. If you’re looking for a space to breathe, reflect, and begin moving toward a lighter, more grounded version of yourself, I’d be honoured to walk that journey with you.”
