Mrs Lize Wolmarans

Counseling Psychologist

“I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential. As a counselling psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I support individuals in building self-esteem, navigating career decisions, and processing past trauma. ”

About Me

I obtained my Master's degree from the University of the Free State (UFS). I am passionate about helping individuals reach their full potential. With over fifteen years as a therapist, I guide clients through challenges with self-esteem and confidence. I also provide a supportive space to process past trauma, helping you understand its impact and develop resilience.

Approach

I guide sessions with gentle curiosity and compassion, so you can explore how past experiences shape choices, identity and beliefs. I also offer online appointments. I adapt to your needs and will adjust both the therapeutic approach and pace to ensure we reach your therapeutic goals.
