Philosophy and Counselling/Coaching Approach

I am passionate about human development and behaviour. As a coach and counsellor, I provide a safe and optimal space for the client, in which to achieve the personal transformation and growth needed to thrive. I will help you find clarity, purpose and empower you to achieve your goals.  I will help you deepen your understanding of yourself, master your issues and learn how to improve your relationships. I will ask you questions that will help you evaluate your life, objectively. I believe that every individual has the innate ability to design their lives and while you take the necessary steps, I will support you all the way. My support comes in the form of helping you how to plan, to execute and through guidance and motivation.  I also provide you with emotional support and psychoeducation. I will help you find what feels right for you by helping you to reveal the answers to yourself throughout our coaching/counselling sessions. The goal of the coaching/ counselling sessions is to empower my clients to discover their true selves and know where to find the right resources in order to execute their plan of action.

The Counselling/Coaching Process

The counselling &/or coaching process is made up of customised solutions for gaining personal mastery and focuses on specific personal projects aimed at specific areas of the client’s life.  I provide a safe space to allow my clients to explore their various areas of difficulties and challenges currently affecting them. I work with clients to help them discover meaning from experiences and assist them with finding direction. The first thing we will do is get an understanding of the problem. We will also look at what are the challenges or obstacles preventing the client from reaching his/her goals. We then look at resources and courses of action to help the client to achieve his/her goals. I also provide emotional support and psychoeducation.

I use various tools in the counselling process. These tools focus on unlocking the client’s potential and help them shift their limiting beliefs and thought patterns and generating new behaviour.

I provide face-to-face coaching and counselling. The duration of sessions is usually 45-50 minutes.

Rates are R500 per session.
