Miss Lerato Mokgethi

Counseling Psychologist

“A counselling psychologist with over 10 years of experience in the field of therapy.”

About Me

As a Counseling psychologist with over ten years' experience, I offer a supportive space for you to explore life's complexities. I help individuals gain clarity and develop practical tools. We can navigate challenges like stress, anxiety, or significant life changes together. My aim is for you to feel truly heard, building confidence to move forward. Clients appreciate the thoughtful, grounded approach I bring to our sessions.

Approach

After a decade in practice, I partner with you to shape sessions that feel practical, steady and attuned to where you're at. In my Boksburg consulting room I use a measured pace, everyday language (English, Sesotho, seTswana, isiXhosa, isiZulu) and short, focused between-session steps so insights land in daily life. We gently process painful memories, loss or relationship strain with targeted feedback and simple experiential work, tracking progress together. This way of working often fits those wanting compassionate, clear direction and doable strategies to move forward.
