About Me
I am a Professional Counselor in Highlands North, Gauteng, South Africa. I help you work through abuse, addiction, phobias, low self-esteem and shame. I offer one-on-one therapy, online sessions and coaching.
Approach
“It has been a truly life-changing experience to work with Ray for the last few months. He has a unique ability to see the more subtle, unspoken details of an issue and delve deeper into one’s story in a gentle but pertinent way. I have seen dramatic shifts in my relationships, career and most importantly my sense of self. Ray’s interest and commitment to my story and journey has been remarkable; I highly recommend Ray and this powerful healing process.”
“As a qualified clinical psychologist, I was bowled over at Ray’s uncanny ability to masterfully facilitate psychological processes and zone in on the most pertinent issues… In the session I experienced a powerful epiphany and deep core-realization… after that single one-hour session, my addiction had literally vanished... Completely non-judgmental and accepting and creating a very safe container and space in which to process potentially very vulnerable material… I can’t recommend Ray highly enough.”

Basic Information
Services
Rephael offers profound healing through his unique, integrated approach, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Matrix Reimprinting and IFS (Internal Family Systems).
EFT/tapping and Matrix Reimprinting are advanced forms of energy therapy that work through the mind-body connection to release the trapped or blocked energies lying at the root of any unresolved trauma or other emotional problems.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy helps you to identify, heal and reintegrate fragmented defense mechanisms or protective "parts" of your personality - allowing the free expression of your deeper, authentic Self.
Besides psychological or emotional challenges, these modalities can also effectively alleviate many chronic physical ailments, including auto-immune conditions.
