Therapists in Western Cape
I greatly value my work because it allows for connection with people from diverse backgrounds, each with our own way of expressing ourselves as human beings. I appreciate the vulnerability that is required to engage in a trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationships, and I firmly believe that therapy is one way for us to use our vulnerabilities to come to our strengths. My training has taught me the necessary skills to think diagnostically with people about their symptoms, relationships, and personality. I believe the power of therapy lies in the process of immersing oneself in the unique relationship that unfolds over time

My clients have experienced a life crisis or trauma that upturned the metaphoric filing cabinet of the understanding of themselves and the world. The content is now scattered all over the floor, and they need an empathetic navigator to make sense thereof to find meaning within the chaos.

Couple work often begins with addressing conflict: how communication isn't working and causing distress. In work with individual clients, themes of identity (a mismatch between how you feel and how you want to be perceived by others), relational issues (friction between people) and life transitions (adjusting to significant change) are often the focus. When counselling goes well, the client has the opportunity to understand why they think certain things or behave in certain ways. Self knowledge is the under-structure for improvement in relationships with others.

I strive to help each client develop self-understanding and to make changes in their life. Change happens in life, but we are not always equipped with the tools to adapt to change. These change may have taken place in childhoods, adolescence or adulthood. It may have been a gradual or sudden change. I help my clients to adapt to their 'new normal' without judgement. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning.

My name is Marineesa Majola and I am a registered Counselling Psychologist based in Goodwood, Cape Town. I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and families who are experiencing various life difficulties, life role transitions and adjustments. My work with children and adolescents is a collaborative working relationship that involves the parents as, I believe, this ensures open communication and trust in a safe and non-judgmental space.

Hi there. I'm Stefany. I have a passion for the wellbeing of children, adolescents and young adults. It is my goal during counselling to equip my clients with the needed skills they would need to face the world. I provide psychometric testing for subject and career choice, school readiness assessments and learner support. I believe in treating a person holistically and that there is no such thing as "fixing" someone, but simply joining them on their journey of self discovery. My goal in therapy is for my clients to know that their voices are heard by someone.
