Life gets overwhelming sometimes, for all of us. Even the strongest and most resilient people need help from time to time. Courageous people know when to seek help in order to augment their own resources, to facilitate truncated bounce back cycles. Covid-19 has demonstrated that most of us do not flourish in isolation. You need not journey alone. I work with adults, adolescents (15 years and above), and couples, providing a warm, confidential and supportive psychotherapeutic environment. Trained in Brain-Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

ARE YOU FEELING OVER WHELMED BY LIFE CHALLENGES? ARE CONFLICTS WITHIN IN YOUR FAMILY UNIT CAUSING YOU TO FEEL DSYREGULATED AND POWERLESS? I work in a collaborative manner with my clients to build their mental immunity by developing skills and coping mechanisms to assist them to navigate a more effective path through life obstacles. I offer affordable and accessible rates, which fill the gap in the mental health space. I have been married for 28 years and have 3 young adult daughters, and have therefore had both the personal, and counselling experience of maintaining healthy and functional family interactions.

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."

Providing individual counselling for children of any age is my main focus. I also provide counselling for adults struggling with grief, trauma, non-clinical depression and anxiety, and daily life challenges. "Trauma is personal. It doesn’t disappear if it’s not validated. When ignored or invalidated, the silent screams continue internally, heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams, healing can begin," - Danielle Bernick. Allow me to take your hand on this healing journey and help you regain your inner peace.

On the surface, it seems like things are okay. Objectively you have the things that society says is suppose to make you happy - yet you are not happy. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and dissatisfaction. No matter what you do, or force yourself to do, you just don't find it in anything. The last time you felt true joy was as a child on the playground. It seems as if though everyone around you is doing extremely well, so what is wrong with you for not feeling the same. This feeling is more common than you think. You are not as alone as you might think.

At a young age I began to discern my high levels of empathy for those in pain & this I believe in part is because of my own story of brokenness. People tended to open up to me quite easily about their personal stories. My whole heart gravitated towards the helping profession specifically within the spaces of healing, empowering , inspiring & teaching. I unequivocally know that my life's work is to help others to become products of their purpose and not their pain.To flourish in the areas of emotion, relationships, meaning, accomplishment and engagement. ( Martin Seligman). To thrive and not merely survive.

In my work as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I am deeply committed to helping you unlock your fullest potential and well-being. My journey into mental health began as a young teen, captivated by the resilience of individuals who had overcome life's most challenging experiences. These stories weren't just inspiring -they lite a fire in me to be part of that transformative journey for others. With a foundation in psychology, reinforced by postgraduate study and complementary healing modalities, I offer a tailored approach that honors you as a whole person-not just a set of symptoms.

Are you often worried about how your child is doing? Are you a new parent struggling to find balance in your life? I provide counselling to clients of all ages with a special focus on supporting parents with concerns about their children. Sometimes relatively small parenting adjustments can make significant differences in the life of a child. I have over 20 years of experience working with children with ADHD and various related learning difficulties. I also work with new and expectant parents seeking to build secure attachment relationships with their babies. I am attachment, trauma, art and play informed.

Fairytales make you believe that love is easy. Typically there is a hero, a damsel, one fight, and then they live happily ever after. Unfortunately, marriage takes a lot more know-how and support than that. But I do believe in happily ever after! So I specialize in helping parents in marital crises turn their marriage around because I know you want your children not just to see you survive together, but what deep, beautiful love can look like.

All parents want the best for their children. However, you or your child may sometimes experience difficult situations, such as trauma, adjustments, and losses. Children may then need extra emotional support to work through their emotions. A change in the child's behaviour will be an indication that he or she needs extra help. Children may either have more energy and act out, or they may have less energy and become withdrawn, wanting to isolate themselves from society. In both of these cases, help is available for your child. Marie-Louise van Heerden is a social worker (B.SW) with a master's degree in play-based intervention (M.SW).
