Life Coaching Therapists in Rondebosch

Are you going through a life change or challenge? Are you feeling stuck? I have 30 years of experience as a counsellor & career coach, working with children, teens & adults - young and old. I've worked privately, in non-profit and education sectors, in SA & Switzerland. If you are struggling with a personal or professional issue, going through a crisis or a transition, or need to think through options & make decisions, then I would love to support you. I have a holisitic approach & am a practical, goal-oriented counsellor who can help you understand yourself, focus on your development & move forward with confidence and positivity.

Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.

Strategic business and career coaching & purposeful life coaching is my passion. Ambitious and career orientated professionals will benefit from the coaching process as it allows you to challenge your critical reasoning, leadership and strategic thinking skills.

I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey back home to yourself. I accompany people as they deal with life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, identity crises, suicide, burnout and trauma, from age 13 and up. To heal is to make whole again. It is calling back all the parts of ourselves that have been lost and exiled, tending to the old wounds, and coming alive to what we have inside of us. It is discovering all of who we are, and finding meaning in all of who we are.

Pause and Connect. Do you feel as though the winding and vast roads of life could use a supportive GPS? I offer specialised and steadfast support through wellness counselling that aids your discovery of your true voice and inner resilience to find harmony in your life - your direction and path. This helpful and beneficial process provides the gift of proactive and supportive life strategies. I am committed to walking alongside you so you can navigate the transitions of life confidently.

Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I understand how difficult it is to access therapy and I pride myself in providing a welcoming, safe and inclusive therapeutic experience. I believe in using evidence-based therapeutic interventions and the primary modalities which I incorporate include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Individual Trauma-Focused Treatment. I have a special interest in supporting adults who have experienced trauma, grief/loss, sexual abuse, anxiety and depression.

Imagine two versions of yourself. One is weighed down by self-doubt, negative thoughts, unhealthy habits, toxic relationships, past traumas, and work-related stress. This version struggles to see beyond the horizon, feeling trapped in a cycle of limitations and missed opportunities. The other version is liberated, soaring above the clouds, and embracing life's boundless possibilities. What's holding you back from reaching this elevated state? Often, it's the heavy anchors of negativity and exhaustion dragging you down.

Therapy, counselling, coaching the list is endless. My goal is to find the right fit for you as client. Whether it’s a short term solution or a more in-depth exploration of negative behaviors, emotions or patterns there is a fit. I believe each individual has the ability to resolve personal problems on a certain level. The level depends on the individual, their resources, time, financial, social and environmental constraints. Working together we find what’s right for you!

I'm an Honours-qualified Psychologist, and registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor, invested in the psychological wellbeing of all my clients. I work intuitively and apply psychodynamic principles in therapy, which assist in identifying 'unconscious patterns' that may be causing anxiety, confusion, depression, despair, anger or fear in your life. By addressing patterns that create disharmony I can also support you in realising your authenticity and higher potential by tapping into nuanced conditions that may be delaying your personal growth and expansion, providing you with practical tools to build an empowered, meaningful life.

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a value-driven life. Having a dedicated time in which to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

Hi. I have been in practice for 33 years and continue to be passionate about what I do. I work with high functioning adults using a form of Psychotherapy which I have developed called Therapeutic Coaching. I am interactive in my approach whilst having been trained as a Depth Psychologist. What this means is that I am trained to identify my clients' underlying issues, childhood traumas, depression, anxiety etc. but work in a very interactive way in dealing with these. I work with individuals as well as with couples and have a reputation for working successfully with challenging couples who are in crisis.

I enjoy working with people who want to explore themselves deeply, to ask questions about their internal world and make sense of how they relate to others, themselves and the outer world. You may well present with depression or anxiety or be struggling in a relationship. You want to engage therapeutically and gain insight into your relational dynamics and be able to make links between past early relationships with parents or family of origin and how these experiences have predisposed you to relating to others and the world in a unique way. You seek greater freedom from emotional conditioning and to know the fullness and joy of life.

ARE YOU FEELING OVER WHELMED BY LIFE CHALLENGES? ARE CONFLICTS WITHIN IN YOUR FAMILY UNIT CAUSING YOU TO FEEL DSYREGULATED AND POWERLESS? I work in a collaborative manner with my clients to build their mental immunity by developing skills and coping mechanisms to assist them to navigate a more effective path through life obstacles. I offer affordable and accessible rates, which fill the gap in the mental health space. I have been married for 28 years and have 3 young adult daughters, and have therefore had both the personal, and counselling experience of maintaining healthy and functional family interactions.

I deal with clients being affected by depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self esteem, abuse, anger management, etc.

I offer counselling and coaching mostly in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family matters. I work with individuals, couples and families. Having been in the field for over 15 years; I have a passion for assisting clients to overcome challenges; seeing them become the best version of themselves and living within their purpose.

I have a passion for working with clients, providing them with tools to navigate the challenges and pitfalls of early recovery. Support is also provided to families to deal with the impact of addiction and learning how to support their love one's in recovery.

As a Cognitive Therapist I am extremely well trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and over the years have upskilled in other Cognitive Therapy modalities such as Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), Schema Therapy (ST), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (AACT) as well as Dialectic Behaviour Therapy.

Are you feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed? Struggling in relationships? Is your mind full of negative self-talk? All of this is completely normal. At some point, we all face challenges.
