Whether you’re a student, caregiver, creative, or young adult, we offer short-term counselling that honours your unique story, needs, and goals. Life can feel heavy when you’re trying to navigate everything alone — from burnout and self-doubt to grief and identity confusion. We’re here to walk that journey with you! Find a safe space with us, right here in Pretoria!

You might be:

  • Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or constantly anxious
  • Struggling with low motivation, procrastination, or chronic burnout
  • Facing a recent life change, grief, or loss that feels hard to process
  • Working through the impact of childhood trauma or emotionally neglectful environments
  • Battling an inner critic that fuels perfectionism or imposter syndrome
  • Trying to unlearn people-pleasing and build stronger boundaries
  • Feeling confused about who you are or disconnected from your voice and purpose

Our individual counselling sessions are tailored to help you:

  • Understand emotional patterns and triggers
  • Learn effective coping strategies and self-regulation tools
  • Build self-esteem, self-compassion, and resilience
  • Develop practical executive functioning and planning skills (especially for ADHD)
  • Process grief, trauma, or big transitions with care and support
  • Reconnect with your creativity, intuition, and emotional needs

We work with a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

  • Anxiety and panic
  • Depression and emotional numbness
  • Stress and adjustment issues
  • Perfectionism and people-pleasing
  • Low self-worth and identity confusion
  • Emotional dysregulation

You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to come to counselling. If something feels heavy, repetitive, or stuck, that’s reason enough to reach out. Our sessions are collaborative, grounded in evidence-based practice, and focused on building real-life skills you can use beyond the therapy space. Available in Waterkloof Pretoria and online.
