When Counselling May Be Helpful
Many people hesitate before reaching out. You may wonder if counselling is really needed or if your situation is “serious enough.” Counselling can be useful whenever something feels hard to manage on your own, or when you want support navigating a difficult period more clearly.
Ongoing Stress or Pressure
Stress or emotional strain feels constant, overhwelming and hard to switch off.
Repeated Patterns
Conversations, conflicts, or situations keep repeating without resolution.
Life or Work Changes
Work demands, relationship challenges, or major changes are affecting your wellbeing.
Needing Structured Support
You want clear, professional support rather than carrying everything alone.

You learn practical tools to communicate more clearly, listen effectively, and manage conflict in healthier ways. Sessions also address emotional and physical connection.
Your Relationship Story & Moving Into Marriage
We explore your relationship history, shared values, and expectations of marriage. This helps clarify what has shaped your connection, what each partner brings into the marriage, and what you both need as you move forward together.
Money, Family & Future Planning
We work through important topics that couples often avoid, such as finances, roles, family dynamics, boundaries, children, and long-term goals. These conversations help reduce future tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Counselling can be helpful whenever something feels difficult to manage on your own, even if you’re not in crisis. If stress, conflict, emotional strain, or uncertainty is impacting your wellbeing or daily functioning, counselling may provide useful support.
Sessions are structured and guided. You’ll have space to talk, while I help clarify patterns, explore what’s happening, and support you in developing practical ways of responding to challenges. The process is collaborative and paced to feel manageable.
This varies depending on your goals and the nature of the difficulty. Some people benefit from a few focused sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. We review this together as we go.
Medical aid claims may be possible depending on your plan and benefits. It’s recommended that you check directly with your medical aid provider for confirmation.
