Mrs Karla Badenhorst

Counseling Psychologist

“As a Counselling Psychologist, I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages cope with various challenges, as well as uncover their strengths and potential.”

About Me

As a Counseling Psychologist, I guide individuals of all ages through life's varied challenges. My aim is to help you uncover your inherent strengths and potential. We will explore your unique experiences and personal narratives together. This collaborative process fosters personal growth and resilience. My warm, supportive space is ideal for anyone seeking clarity and a deeper understanding of themselves.

Approach

Therapy with me unfolds as a practical, curiosity-led collaboration that gently clarifies what matters most to you and how to move forward. In my Pretoria practice and via online sessions in Afrikaans or English, we keep sessions grounded and paced to your needs — sometimes reflective and narrative, sometimes action-focused with small experiments between meetings. For career shifts and life transitions I help you map options, test choices and build confidence through steady, manageable steps. This way of working suits those seeking clear progress and a supportive, thoughtful ally.
