Life presents us all with challenges. You may be entering a new phase in your life. You may see repeated patterns that negatively impact you, your work and your relationships. Perhaps the uncertainty of COVID-19 has left you contemplating your identity and seeking meaning and purpose in your place in the world. You wish to make sense of the influences of belief, race, class or other systems and the accompanying feelings these evoke. However much (or little) you desire a change or a fresh perspective on life, it's natural to want someone to help you navigate the discomfort and achieve your goals.

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a value-driven life. Having a dedicated time in which to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

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.

My ideal client would need assistance with a psychiatric illness or a stressor that arises from an event or life situation, or need help in dealing with conflict in interpersonal relationships. Their goals would be to sort out the immediate difficulty in their lives but also to gain some insight into their personality and why they respond to various situations the way they do. Ultimately, I want my clients to walk away with a sense of accomplishment, even if they haven't resolved the initial issue that led them to seek treatment

I work both online and from my practice in the Winelands. The reasons for making contact with a counsellor are personal to each individual. Understanding this, I practice with a person-centered approach. Because reaching out can feel like a big decision I guide my clients step by step through the counselling process. This way, I can assist you to offload stress, resolve your challenges and regain feelings of control in your life in a way that is safe and comfortable for you.

Clients have different needs that they would seek assistance with from a competent professional. The client needs to be heard and their feelings validated. I provide a safe and confidential space for clients 14 years old and above to engage with me. My specialist Counselling knowledge and approach will put the client at ease and allow the therapy to take its course. I acknowledge that each individual requires different levels of support and based on that, I apply my technique of empathetic listening and appropriate counselling as required.

Gerda Kriel is a Clinical Psychologist with experience in both private and public sector. She has a special interest in working with infant and maternal mental health challenges, but also sees clients who struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD or phase-of-life-challenges. She views therapy as a collaborative partnership in which both therapist and client join hands in developing the changes the client seeks. Her approach is informed by Narrative therapy, but she also works in more structured modalities such as Eye movement integration and Resource therapy for clients with trauma.

Hi! I'm Caitlin. A mother, wife, teacher, entrepreneur and Specialist Wellness Counsellor. My passion is working with all people, particularly women, to unlock richness, joy and contentment in their lives. I also love working with couples to help them reconnect to each other, and, to themselves within their relationship. Young adults feeling at a loss of where to go next (been there!) is also one of my special areas of interest. People often seek counselling when they're feeling afloat and untethered.

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!

For all the beauty and joy that life has to offer, the modern world is a chaotic and frantic place. Dealing with rent; work; traffic; inflation; politics; existential anxiety etc., the average person has enough going on to warrant immense stress without even accounting for any of the other emergencies and crises that life throws at us. And even after putting a roof over one's head and food on the table, happiness and purpose can be more complex. Figuring out the next step forward can often seem impossible. My passion is in helping you to find the next step, and in helping you to develop the strategies and skills to keep doing so.
