Puleng Maitin
Specialist Wellness Counsellor
Hello, I’m Puleng Maitin, a registered specialist wellness counsellor dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized support for individuals navigating life’s challenges. With an Honours degree in Psychology and over five years of experience, I am committed to helping my clients build resilience, find balance, and foster emotional well-being. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel understood, empowered, and supported in your healing journey.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients facing a range of personal and relational issues, from anxiety and low mood to navigating life transitions such as motherhood, bereavement and grief. My background includes experience in postnatal counselling, individual and couples counselling, where I’ve supported clients in building healthy relationships, enhancing self-awareness, and developing practical coping strategies. I offer online sessions to accommodate clients’ needs and provide flexible, accessible care.
Special Interests
I am particularly passionate about supporting clients in the following areas:
- Low mood and Anxiety: Helping clients manage symptoms and develop tools to create stability and emotional balance.
- Postnatal counselling: Offering a safe space for new mothers to explore their feelings and adjust to life after childbirth.
- Bereavement and Grief: Providing guidance and support to individuals processing loss and seeking closure.
- Relationship Challenges: Supporting individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, rebuilding self-confidence, and learning effective communication.
- Personal Growth and Women’s Issues: Helping clients explore self-identity, build self-confidence, and find empowerment through life’s challenges.
- Trauma Recovery: Assisting clients in processing traumatic experiences with compassion and care, empowering them to move forward.
My counselling approach is person-centred and solution-focused, which means I prioritize your individual needs, experiences, and goals while working collaboratively to create actionable steps for positive change. I believe in meeting you where you are, at your own pace, and helping you uncover your inner strengths and resources. My sessions are grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding, and my goal is to equip you with practical strategies and insights that promote long-lasting well-being.
In our sessions together, you can expect a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. My approach is both compassionate and practical, focusing on understanding your unique experiences and developing coping tools to manage challenges effectively. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.
