Ms Phetheni Nconco

Counseling Psychologist

“An experienced counselling psychologist, working with adolescent and adults. Special interests in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties.”

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or relationship struggles? This experienced Counseling psychologist guides adolescents and adults to navigate complex feelings. They offer a calm, confidential space where experiences can be explored. Practical strategies are developed to manage trauma and daily challenges. This helps clients find clarity and build resilience towards a more settled sense of well-being.

Approach

To move from overwhelm toward steadiness, I focus on small, practical shifts you can test between sessions. In Cape Town and online, in English, isiZulu, isiXhosa, siSwati or seTswana, we work at a pace you set, with clear boundaries and mutual respect. Sessions blend careful listening, trauma-informed grounding, collaborative problem-solving and advocacy planning for relationship challenges and crisis moments; I often suggest brief tasks to try in real life. People managing mood, anxiety or strained connections usually find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
