Miss Monica-Reis Mestre

Registered Counselor

“HPCSA accredited Registered Counsellor experienced in counselling and presenting workshops to individuals of all ages, couples, and groups in contexts of schools, VEC's, counselling clinics, companies, communities, and private practice.”

About Me

I offer a welcoming space for individuals of all ages, couples, and groups seeking support. My experience as a Registered Counsellor spans diverse settings, from schools to companies. This broad background helps me understand varied challenges. Alongside one-to-one Counseling, I provide practical workshops designed to build skills and foster connection. Clients appreciate my adaptable approach to navigating personal growth and relationship dynamics.

Approach

Building on the supportive tone of my work, therapy here is practical and collaborative: we set clear aims, explore patterns, and practice skills between sessions. I work with individuals, couples and groups from Welkom, Free State, and also offer English-language online sessions for remote or busy clients. Sessions are paced to your needs, blending reflective conversation, brief exercises and tangible strategies for stress, trauma recovery and relationship repair. Those facing burnout, relationship strain or sudden crisis often find this steady, skill-focused way of working helpful.
