Mrs Lauren Loots

Counselor

I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of settings since 2012 including NGO’s, corporates, schools, churches and now independent counselling. My passion is to help people find resolutions to their challenges through counselling and problem-solving.

About Me

I understand how overwhelming life's challenges can feel. With broad experience gained in various settings since 2012, I offer a grounded, adaptable approach to Counseling. My aim is to help you address your concerns, working together to find practical resolutions. We focus on problem-solving strategies, helping you gain clarity and move forward. This approach suits anyone seeking clear steps to navigate their difficulties effectively and build lasting solutions.

Approach

Having worked across sectors, I guide sessions toward practical, achievable steps that make problems feel less overwhelming. In Roodepoort and online, in English, our meetings balance focused conversation with gentle pacing—short-term goals, reflective tasks between sessions and collaborative problem-solving so progress is measurable. I use clear questions, safety checks and simple techniques to manage stress, grief, addictive patterns or family tensions while supporting personal and career choices. People looking for structured, down-to-earth support tend to find this approach useful.
