Ms Rakhi Beekrum

Counseling Psychologist

“Psychotherapy for adults, couples & adolescents.”

About Me

I offer psychotherapy to adults, couples, and adolescents navigating life's challenges. As a Counseling Psychologist, I provide a confidential space where you can explore feelings and difficult experiences. We work collaboratively to understand your unique situation. My aim is to help you gain clarity and develop practical insights. This supports lasting change, whether you seek individual support or wish to improve relational dynamics.

Approach

Working with individuals, partners and young people, I focus on how your story and current struggles connect so we can find manageable steps forward. In Durban I offer sessions in English and provide flexible online appointments when needed, creating a steady, private space whether we meet face-to-face or virtually. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your comfort — often combining reflective conversation, practical exercises and simple between-session tasks to build momentum. This approach suits those wanting clear, applied strategies for stress, mood and relationship concerns.
