Life Coaching Therapists in Cape Town
The story that we tell ourselves about our lives and ourselves has a great impact on how we feel and what we give ourselves permission to do in life.
Apart from my counselling training at Rhodes University and the South African College of Applied psychology, I have been trained in mindfulness and hypnotherapy, which I have found to be incredibly useful in assisting my clients to build more self-awareness and to use their mind more productively. Whether you simply need someone to talk to - to better explore and unpack your current situation or past circumstances - or whether you are actively wanting to engage in changing certain thought, emotional and behavioural patterns that may be limiting you in your life, my approach can be of great value to you.

These include: Psychotherapy, Art Therapy, Time to Think coaching, Mindfulness based practices, guided imagery, Resilience coaching, Enneagram coaching, creative arts and whole body attunement.
Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.

Whether a client is dealing with depression, anxiety, illness, relationship challenges, trauma or general life stressors, I tailor therapy to individual needs.
My ideal client is someone facing difficulties / challenges in their life. This might be personal, situational, medical, relational, historical, anticipatory. The client may need to make changes, (situation or attitude) find solutions or come to terms with the situation. Their goals and needs are individual and they are likely to want to be heard, understood and guided through a period of change or adjustment

As a Counsellor and Life Coach who has gained substantial understanding of the mind and human beings through her various qualifications and degrees, I offer my clients the opportunity to work with me, and to help them shape and change not only their mind, but their life too.
My ideal client would be someone who has not had an easy start in life. Things have never been easy for them. Challenges have always been thrown at them, and they just dont know when the bad hand that life has dealt them, will come to an end. My client has a bit of a negative mindset as a result of some vast obstacles and he or she always thinks that life will be tough for them. However, there is a part of them that just won't allow them to give up, no matter how much they have wanted to. My clients goals are to get their mind positive and to change the way they see situations. They know a positive mindset, is a receipe for success.

Over 20 years experience has enabled me to offer skilled support and practical approaches to help clients address a wide range of life challenges.
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.

Rediscovering our humanity and growing a unique identity is essential for a fulfilled life.
Therapy has become very clinical in the pathological world we live in. I focus on ways to make ethical, value-based choices that help you build a purposeful, meaningful life. I use an Existentialist approach (Humanistic) while and my methods generally follow Acceptance & Commitment Therapy guidelines. I have a unique perspective on many issues from my experience in life from personal challenges: raised in poverty, suffering male-anorexia, failed early- life relationships and 20 yrs. as an entrepreneur. This lived experience helps me be an effective counsellor, mental health speaker and provide ethical services as a life-coach.

As a Registered Counsellor I seek to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life's trials and tribulations, striving to tap into their innate ability to persevere and overcome any challenges they may be facing.
You do not have to wait until you are in crisis before you reach out to a counsellor. One thing in life that is certain is change and facing challenges. Just navigating normal life transitions can be stressful and overwhelming. We are made to be in relationship with one another and when you are going through a difficulty there can be such power and healing in being able to express to someone in confidence what you are experiencing on a physical, emotional, mental and social level. We all need that space where we feel safe, we are able to share in confidence and there is no judgment.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
