Ms Leisha Mostert

Registered Counselor

“I am a Registered Counsellor that focuses on trauma-related difficulties such as anxiety, PTSD and other mental health challenges.”

About Me

When trauma, anxiety, or PTSD feel overwhelming, support can make a difference. As a Registered Counsellor, I help individuals process these difficult experiences. We work together to explore your unique story. My aim is to help you develop practical tools for managing mental health challenges. This collaborative approach offers grounded support for those navigating the lasting impact of difficult events.

Approach

When difficult memories surface, I create a steady, contained space that balances gentle curiosity with clear, practical pacing. In sessions — in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans — we focus on present safety, emotional regulation, and making sense of what happened in manageable steps; between sessions you may try short grounding or reflective tasks to build resilience. The work is collaborative and paced to your readiness, and people juggling anxiety, relationship strain or recovery from abuse often find this approach grounding and practical.
