Nina

Ms Nina Badenhorst

Wellness Counselor

“My name is Nina, and I am a registered Wellness Counsellor with the ASCHP (registration number WC22/1199). I would like to assist anyone who may need an opportunity to talk about complex emotions; traumatic experiences; tricky life situations or relationship issues.”

About Me

I offer a warm, confidential space to discuss complex emotions and navigate life’s challenges. Here, you can comfortably explore traumatic experiences or tricky relationship issues. I listen and guide you towards clarity. This opportunity to talk freely is for anyone seeking support. My aim is to help you find your path towards greater well-being.

Approach

When we meet, you’ll find a calm, respectful space where the focus is on how we uncover what’s underneath your feelings and experiences. Sessions in Pretoria or online—in Afrikaans or English—move at your pace, combining careful listening with gentle questions and small practical steps to try between appointments. With children and adults I use age-sensitive language, steady pacing and regular check-ins to track grief, stress, body concerns or past hurt. People seeking steady, compassionate support to make manageable changes tend to find this helpful.
