My Story
There is nothing more fulfilling for me than helping people who are struggling with mental and emotional health issues and supporting them in finding their purpose in life.
I do this by providing holistic counselling support and life coaching assistance to help people overcome, thrive and unlock their fullest potential.
I approach my work with empathy, compassion, warmth, and integrity because I value people deeply. I make use of the person-centered approach during counselling, placing the client at the center of our helping relationship. Being an empath , I have a deep understanding of personalities and human behavior, which allows me to facilitate healing, restoration, and growth in those I work with.
I am a wife and a mother of two who enjoys singing, training and development in my spare time. Having undergone my own personal mental health challenges that have shaped me, I can confidently say that it is possible to migrate from the dark places and become the best thriving version of yourself possible.
Most importantly, I want you to know that I am here for you. Your well-being is my top priority and I am committed to providing you with unwavering support. You can freely express yourself, be heard, and truly understood without judgement. My goal is to create a trusting and compassionate environment where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I am here to accompany you every step of the way.

What is a Specialist Wellness Counsellor?
A Specialist Wellness Counsellor is a member of the ASCHP with a postgraduate qualification on NQF level 8 (BA Hons Psych) and a minimum 100 hours of practical experience.
I serve to enhance the total wellbeing of my clients by making use of a holistic approach to counselling by working towards achieving wholeness within the integrated unity of body, mind and spirit.
A holistic systems approach entails that a human being is an integrated whole in which all aspects of existence are entangled and mutually influence one another. This is also referred to as the Wellness model. Wellbeing is improved over a wider spectrum rather than healing a specific condition.
As a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I aspire to care and support above cure. I instead help my clients to cope or find solutions to the problems.
I comprehensively help to resolve clients conflicts, improve relationships, overcome general problems, cope with life’s challenges and find inner peace.
