Mrs Laneke Ferreira

Registered Counselor

“Registered Counsellor specializing in short term counselling, psycho-educational workshops, life skills and psychometric assessment.”

About Me

As a Registered Counsellor, I equip individuals navigating specific challenges with focused, short-term support. My approach helps you gain practical life skills and insights. We can use psychometric assessment to understand your strengths, offering clarity and a path forward. This is ideal for those seeking clear, actionable strategies. It suits anyone wanting a deeper understanding of themselves to build confidence and manage daily life effectively.

Approach

Focused, practical sessions move briskly from understanding your immediate concern to building tangible routines and problem-solving steps you can try between meetings. I offer sessions in English or Afrikaans from East London or online, keeping each meeting structured, time-efficient and collaborative so assessments and observations directly shape clear goals. You can expect brief guided exercises, straightforward feedback and occasional home tasks to track what works. This way of working suits people who want targeted, manageable progress and clearer day-to-day functioning.
