Everyone needs someone some of the time. School going children and adults all experience challenges throughout their life time. Trauma such as parents separating or are in the process of divorce, bereavement can be quite debilitating for children. Learning difficulties can make the school experience very challenging too. Children responses to trauma may result in enuresis or encopresis and other regressive behaviours. Adults struggling to come to terms with childhood trauma, bereavement, divorce, domestic violence and trauma, all of which can negatively affect functioning in daily life. Depression & anxiety often follow trauma.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in private practice who works with individuals from all walks of life. I provide comprehensive and individualised psychological interventions tailored to the individual. I have a strengths-based approach to therapy which recognizes the client's natural abilities and resilience as critical to their progress in therapy.

I am mostly a systems theorist. I believe if we can heal the system that impact you (past, present, family, health, spirituality, trauma, relationships) you will be able to move at your own healthy pace toward strength and victory. I work attachment-based as I believe our family or origin is the classroom where we were taught how to do life and relationships.

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."

I believe every individual has their own unique reality composed of life experiences, personality, knowledge and emotions that shape their perspectives of the world. I offer a safe, non judgemental space where you are able to deeply explore and process stressful life events and times of transition. A space where you are able to discover parts of yourself, seek meaning, recognise your personal power and honour your life story. My approach is firmly rooted in deep compassion, unconditional positive regard and a genuine openheartedness. “People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.”

Hester Katarina de Lange practice is based on a Neurodiversity perspective. Your brain is made up of networks of small cells called Neurons that communicate Electro-Chemically to enable you to think, feel, and interact with the world around you. When this system becomes overwhelmed we become anxious or stressed. Counseling helps reduce stress and improve your well-being, by addressing the causes of stress or by reducing the impact of stress on your body and on your mind. Key support focus areas: Stress-Attachment-Sleep-Anxiety-Neurodiversity.

We don't learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience. The quality of our learning depends on the quality of our reflecting. Moreover, insight alone can still leave us stuck in patterns of being or relating. We need to take action or do things differently to change our outcomes. The right support can make all the difference, and has done so for local and international clients.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life's challenges, or experience difficulties in personal relationships with others. You might find it difficult to overcome challenges, keeping you from living life to the fullest. Many of us have experienced trauma or very painful events. You may have a longing to connect with your partner but feel stuck or finding you are repeating the same patterns leaving you feeling alone and disconnected from each other. If this is the case, I can assist you in navigating these challenges within your own personal values and belief system, in order for you to live a life worth living.

Wellness counselling is a primary health care service focussed on holistic wellness. This is shift away from the medical model towards a holistic and noetic approach where the interplay between mind, body and spirit is acknowledged. I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is vital in the healing journey. Every person has the capacity to heal and to thrive. It all starts from within, reconnecting to ourselves using mind, heart and intuition. Through mindfulness and compassion we learn to respond rather than react, we become kind towards ourselves, we nourish ourselves and we allow a new way of knowing to arise.

As an HPCSA- registered Drama Therapist I facilitate a non-judgmental and confidential space where equal attention is given to the body, heart, mind and soul. Arts processes such as images and stories give shape and form to things that are difficult to talk about or to discover new insight in old patterns. Our work is about looking at all the parts that make up the Self, both the healthy ones and the hurting ones. By making space and engaging with these parts we get to better understand ourselves and connect with who we truly are. Arts activities are invited sensitively and when it feels appropriate – no awkward role-plays!

I work with couples and individuals. Identity (a mismatch between how you feel and how you want to be perceived by others) and life transitions (adjusting to significant change) are common themes. For couples communication is often where the counselling begins: people in the couple feel unheard, or stuck or unable to understand one another. Though there are a few different methods I like to use, the foundation from where I work rests on the idea that all people, under the right conditions, have the capacity for insight and growth. I offer in-person and online for individuals. For couples I work in-person only.

My ideal client is usually someone needing professional help for the first time and is hesitant to take that first step. Their needs, issues and goals are usually themselves, their partner, their kids or life in general.

I am passionate about working with individuals invested in their own personal growth and are willing to invest time, energy and money into their quality of life. I believe strongly in being personally responsible for how you react to events/situations/people, how you shape your life with choices and how you define who you are. I frequently work with individuals processing a variety of life transitions, and those with struggle with symptoms of anxiety and low mood. I value openness to feedback, motivation to engage in a deeper process and a desire to change.
