Miss Mariel Martin

Registered Counselor

“I am an experienced Registered Counsellor with experience in working with Adults, Adolescents and children alongside their parents. I'm registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA: PRC 0032375).”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals at any stage, from childhood to adulthood. When working with younger clients, I involve parents directly. This collaborative approach builds consistent understanding, fostering resilience and clear communication for the whole family. I listen carefully to understand your unique experience, helping you find practical ways to navigate life's challenges.

Approach

My work focuses on clear, step-by-step adjustments tailored to each person's day-to-day experience. In Alberton I offer flexible in-person and online sessions in English, and with children I regularly invite parents into brief check-ins to keep everyone aligned. Sessions blend simple coaching tools, reflective conversation and practical tasks between meetings so adolescents and adults can try new ways of coping, communicating and making choices. Those navigating transitions, grief or behaviour concerns often find this steady, collaborative pace helpful.
