I am a Registered Counsellor with a private practice in Rondebosch. I provide both in-person and online services for adolescents and adults. I focus on difficulties related to bereavement, grief, loss, adjustment challenges, trauma and relationship challenges. While these are some areas of focus, I still work with a wide range of issues within my scope of practice.

Are you struggling to manage your anxiety, or experiencing stress and burnout? Are you feeling misunderstood, frustrated or helpless in your personal relationships? Are you faced with significant life transitions that are affecting your emotions and mood? We all experience times when our ability to cope with what is happening in our lives is challenged, and simply put, we need help. Counselling can offer short-term and dynamic interventions that support our psychosocial wellbeing, enhance personal functioning, and increase our ability to adjust to the changes that life brings.

My ideal client is seeking therapy to deal with past traumas and pain or to learn new skills as an individual, couple or family to communicate and relate better, to solve conflicts or to make better decisions. To change self-limiting beliefs and non-serving habits in order to have a happier and more fulfilling life. I also work with children to assess, identify and treat the core reasons for academic or emotional struggles.

I have devoted most of my career to working predominantly with Eating Disorders and anxiety, and have learned the importance of a balanced approach of both accountability and compassion. Prior to my work in this field, I have always had an interest in women's health issues and my work experience includes obesity, infertility, adoption, addiction, body image, couples therapy and building self esteem in young adults. My approach is holistic and client-centered, as I believe in meeting my clients where they are and walking the journey alongside them.

I do not subscribe to the standard "hmmm, so how does that make you feel?" method of therapy. My approach to therapy is eclectic as I believe that each individual is unique and therefore the psychological intervention for each individual should be unique. I listen to YOU ......and challenge in an interactive manner.

Counselling is my life purpose. Whilst working in Corporate HR, I engaged many who had mental health challenges, felt misunderstood & lacked support in their environment. I have empathised, listened to & supported those who shared their concerns, dreams & challenges with me esp. when they were not experiencing fulfillment at work. Helping clients to find their true life purpose may reduce symptoms relating to mental health & bring about change that will impact individuals, families & communities. Other interests: End of Life, Dementia, Carers Support, GBV, Toxic Relationships, Dealing with Change.

I'm Mirella — it's nice to meet you. I'm an HPCSA registered Drama Therapist. You may be wondering what that is. Think of it as going to see your psychologist, but instead of talk-based interventions, we will use creative and expressive tools, and some talking too. Drama therapy allows us to tap into the imagination to find more creative solutions to old, or new, problems. No problem should be too shameful, too big or small, to bring to therapy.

I offer relationship and family therapy. The reasons that the clients have come to me is to try and repair their relationships, either due to unresolved issues, the total breakdown in communication. Sometimes, after years of being together have forgotten how to voice their needs, and have given up trying to have them satisfied. Other times families seek help trying to navigate life with teenagers. I have also worked with individuals who are seeking some direction, purpose and meaning in their lives. People come for therapy as they are aware that they could be living a more optimal life, are exploring and evaluating their lives.
