Couples Counselling Therapists in Pretoria

My name is Danica Freimond (pictured on the right with my husband, Sean). I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. I work from the person-centred approach and place a high value on your innate ability to change and grow. Just because we cannot see a mental health problem, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental health should carry the exact same weight as a broken leg; you wouldn't walk around on a broken leg, don't walk around with untreated mental health problems; reach out for help! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" C. R. Rogers

I work predominantly from a systemic approach. This approach considers people in relationships, dealing with interactions, interactional patterns and the context in which this occurs in. I take special care in forming a genuine connection with my clients and place importance on creating a warm, empathetic environment in order for optimum personal growth and healing to occur.

I follow an integrative and style shift therapy approach via ONLINE and/or Face-to-Face counselling. I am trained in General & Eco Systemic Theories, Stratified Systems Theory, Cognitive Therapy, Behaviour Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Multimodal Therapy, Reality Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Problem Solving Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, various Trauma therapies, Solution Focused Therapy, as well as multiple treatment related psychometric and other treatment related assessment instruments.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to cope with new situations, or disconnected from your physical and emotional needs? Let’s explore your current challenges, identify the factors impacting your well-being, and work together to create a personalized plan for meaningful, lasting transformation and empowerment.” The journey of life and therapy is not a straightforward one, it is full of unexpected turns, growth, and progress. When it comes to therapy, I don’t think there is a single philosophy to adhere to. Your mental health and stability are the main priorities of each session, which is tailored to you personally.

Over the years I have trained to become a Clinical Psychologist, I was intrigued by the studies in the field of Psychology on how they conceptualize psychological and psychiatric problems. Through the experience in the field I have realized no single theory can be expected to explain the complexity of an individual’s unique mind. I am working with individuals, adults, couples and families to allow reconnection to hope and humour.

I believe in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can openly express their thoughts. i see adolescents, adults elders and couples with any issues, working from a solution focused perspective. In our conversations you initially talk about your reason for being here. However, after that we mainly focus on change i.e. your future wishes and best hopes for yourself and then we work out how to get there. This creates much hope, direction, optimisms and emotions. My passion is to rebuild family relations and strengthening the family systems, through individual, couples and family counselling services

We all need a safe space to talk about our life challenges without the fear of being judged or worried about confidentiality. I am a counselling psychologist registered with the HPCSA and have been thriving in providing psychological services in private practice and higher education.

My ideal client would be someone who finds it difficult to get out of bed every morning because they are feeling depressed, they are grieving for a loved one, they are considering suicide because at that time it sounds like the only option. My ideal client would be someone who feels overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious about life, feels hopeless and has relationship issues. If the above describes you, then you certainly need emotional support, you need someone to confide in and you need coping skills that may be solution-focused.
