Miss Sne Makhathini

Counseling Psychologist

My approach is to holistically understand the individual, each intervention is specifically designed for you, so that your therapeutic needs are consistently met.

About Me

My approach centres on truly understanding you as a whole person. I partner with you to craft a unique therapeutic path. This ensures each intervention directly addresses your specific needs, supporting you effectively. It's ideal for those seeking deeply personalised support that evolves with their journey. We'll explore challenges together, building lasting well-being.

Approach

Understanding you beyond symptoms shapes how I structure sessions: short, focused check-ins followed by deeper exploration of patterns and values, paced to suit adolescents, adults and couples. In Outer West Durban or online, in English or isiZulu, I work collaboratively—balancing reflective listening with gentle challenges and brief practical experiments you can try between meetings. Sessions blend emotional exploration with clear, doable steps so progress feels tangible. This approach suits people seeking tailored, evolving support for relationship, mood or identity concerns.
