Miss Zakkiya Suleman

Registered Counselor

An experienced, competent and compassionate psychological counsellor working with individuals or groups for holistic wellbeing.

About Me

If you are seeking a supportive space to navigate life's challenges, this Counseling approach can help. We work together to explore your unique path, whether individually or in a group. Our focus is on understanding your thoughts and feelings. This allows you to cultivate holistic wellbeing, building practical resilience for a balanced life.

Approach

Grounded in experience, my sessions slow the pace so we can map where your strengths and stresses meet. From my Durban practice and online room conducted in English, I blend focused assessment with collaborative problem‑solving, using gentle structure to untangle experiences like abuse, addiction, attention differences and major life shifts. I use brief diagnostics to clarify patterns, set small goals and offer coaching tools between meetings so progress feels tangible. People seeking steady, practical support tend to find this pace helpful.
