Individual and Couples counselling in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town
What is a counsellor?
Counsellors are like emotional GPs - we work with the everyday problems of living. ‘Everyday’ does not mean ‘easy’ - emotions can be hard and painful to live with. It is a counsellor’s job to help our clients diminish suffering and build healthy relationships.
What is counselling?
Counselling is a form of talk therapy, where a counsellor and client (or clients) work together on a troubling issue that is affecting their life.
What is Couple’s counselling?
Couples sometimes find that their connection to one another is feeling fragile or broken. This could be because something big has happened in their lives. Equally it might seem nothing specific has happened and yet there’s been a worrying decline in the love or ease they used to have.
By listening carefully to both people, a counsellor helps the couple identify what is actually going on between them. With this clarity the couple can then either embark on either improving their bond, or separating in the kindest way possible. To stay together or separate is always the choice of the couple, not the counsellor.
