Online Counselling for Western Cape

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life's challenges, or experience difficulties in personal relationships with others. You might find it difficult to overcome challenges, keeping you from living life to the fullest. Many of us have experienced trauma or very painful events. You may have a longing to connect with your partner but feel stuck or finding you are repeating the same patterns leaving you feeling alone and disconnected from each other. If this is the case, I can assist you in navigating these challenges within your own personal values and belief system, in order for you to live a life worth living.

Taking the first step in your mental health is a brave venture. Finding the right therapist for this process is important. Therapeutic relationships should provide you with a sense of safety to explore the most vulnerable parts of you. In the words of Brené Brown "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."

Hello and warm greetings! I'm Kristin, a devoted and compassionate counsellor and the co-founder of Aurelia Autism Services, a platform born out of my extensive journey through various continents, working closely with diverse individuals within the spectrum of autism.

Change and transition happen throughout life. Some of these changes lead to happiness whilst others bring on sadness and confusion. If you are finding such events challenging or stressful then I can provide a safe space for you to share your feelings and experiences where we can work together to create an atmosphere of hope for the future.

Emma-Louise is a Clinical Neuropsychologist based in the Cape Town's southern suburbs. People usually consult a neuropsychologist because they have a known brain injury (e.g. traumatic or stroke), disease process (e.g. dementia), or because they feel that there has been a change in their cognition or behaviour and they suspect there may be an organic cause (of which there are many). Emma-Louise works with clients to understand the changes in their brain and importantly, to find ways to continue to live meaningfully with them.

My focus lies in aiding individuals through the complexities of grief, loss, and bereavement. Life often presents formidable challenges, and experiences of loss can profoundly shape how we see the world and ourselves in it. My aim is not to take your grief away but to meet you where you are at on your grief journey. Whether you're grappling with recent loss, carrying the weight of past grief, or anticipating an imminent loss I provide guidance and support, as you navigate towards a renewed sense of hope.

On a personal note, I am a married 44-year-old mother to a 10-year-old son. Why do I tell you this? Because I believe it is important for you to know that I have not only academic but also broad life experience. I have worked through much emotional and physical trauma in my life thus far, so I am able to understand the depths of feelings my clients present. I counsel both individuals and couples.

Are you caught in a depressive situation? Do you want to change to a healthier relationship with yourself and others? Are you constantly in conflict with yourself or others?

I believe humans are inherently good and get thrown into this world where our blank canvas gets painted on by individuals we never gave permission to do so and events that occur where the canvas becomes damaged. This is where counselling comes into play as counselling provides coping strategies and techniques in which you learn to take control of your canvas and colour it however you want. In other words, you unlearn unhelpful ways and learn new ways of living life in a more fruitful manner. In counselling you also learn to understand yourself better as you create a new and improved version of yourself.
