About Kaela Sussman
A Supportive Space to Reflect
Counselling provides a space to step back and make sense of what is happening in your life or relationships.
My work focuses on helping individuals and couples understand patterns, gain clarity about challenges they are facing, and explore constructive ways of approaching change.
Sessions may be a supportive space to talk and reflect, or they may be more structured when working through specific topics. The approach is adapted depending on what is most helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session is about getting to know you. We’ll discuss what brought you to counselling, explore your goals, and start building a foundation of trust. There’s no pressure, it’s your space.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship. Everything shared in session remains private, with only legally required exceptions (risk of harm).
This varies from person to person. Some clients benefit from 4-8 sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust together.
I can provide invoices and receipts for medical aid claims. Please check with your provider regarding out-of-hospital mental health benefits.
Online sessions happen via a secure video platform. You’ll receive a link before your appointment. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera.
