Miss Lisa Mentel

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“I am a bubbly, open-minded and empathetic individual with a strive to challenge the stigma around mental health and have a positive impact on those around me. I have experience with a diverse range of issues and ages., and am passionate about empowering my clients to become the healthiest versions of themselves.”

About Me

I offer a warm, open space where you can share your experiences without judgment. I aim to challenge mental health stigma, welcoming all ages and backgrounds to find support. With empathy, I guide clients through diverse challenges, helping them discover their own path. Together, we can explore concerns and work towards you becoming your healthiest self.

Approach

You’ll notice a blend of gentle curiosity and practical focus as we work together, inviting you to name what matters and try small, manageable shifts. From my Cape Town base I offer in-person and online sessions in English, with a steady pace that balances listening, reflection and short skills you can use between meetings. We often weave storytelling, grounding and relationship-focused experiments to make sense of grief, trauma or stress and to reshape body-image and connection. People who want collaborative, down-to-earth change tend to feel supported here.
