Ms Malissa Mariens

Registered Counselor

I am a Registered Counsellor offering psychological support to individuals to gain insight, cultivate strength and develop skills to, on a healthy and positive spectrum, manage and overcome difficult turmoils, interpersonal relations and life transitions.

About Me

I offer psychological support, guiding individuals through life’s complex turmoils and transitions. If you're grappling with difficult experiences or relationship challenges, I aim to help you gain clarity and cultivate inner strength. We will work together to develop practical skills, equipping you to manage hurdles more effectively. This focused approach helps you move towards a healthier, more positive outlook, making it ideal for those ready to embrace personal growth and lasting change.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds as a focused, practical process: I listen closely to your story, help you name what matters, and together we map small, manageable steps toward change. In my Cape Town consulting space or via secure online sessions in English, I blend calm containment with coaching-style tasks—skill rehearsal, brief psychoeducation and reflective tasks to try between meetings. Sessions are paced to suit you, shifting from steady support in grief or trauma to active problem-solving for career, control or relationship stresses. This way of working often helps people seeking steady, skill-based growth and clearer direction.
