Equine Assisted Counselling
Nature-based Counselling
Individual or group counselling sessions offered in a natural, holistic environment with horses as co-therapists.
Clients are able to find connection and awareness with the horses through tailored activities designed around their therapeutic goals.
Individual or group counselling sessions which differ from traditional talk therapy in a counselling room.
Experience professional counselling and the therapeutic relationship offered in traditional counselling, but in a beautiful natural setting more aligned with our natural way of being.
In-office Counselling
Individual or group counselling sessions which take place in a comfortable counselling room in the heart of Newlands.
Clients can enjoy the convenience and privacy of a dedicated therapeutic space while having the option to explore my other offerings should they wish.
About Me
I provide a compassionate and safe space for clients to engage with the difficulties that life brings, and have a passion for innovative approaches to mental health. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Stellenbosch University, followed by a BPsych degree from Cornerstone Institute. After completing my community service at an NGO in Tokai, I obtained the qualification as a Registered Counsellor with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
Driven by a desire to offer meaningful and transformative therapy experiences, I pursued additional training with the Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of South Africa (EAPISA), completing their one-year training program to incorporate Equine-Assisted Counselling into my practice. Witnessing the profound impact of being outdoors on my clients' mental well-being, I expanded my practice to include Nature-Based Counselling, which takes place in natural outdoor settings rather than traditional therapy rooms.
My approach to counselling is client-centered, rooted in the belief that every individual possesses their own innate wisdom and is the expert in their own lived experience. I combine holistic counselling methods with practical, evidence-based tools to promote well-being and empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-awareness. This ensures a supportive, collaborative, and personalized therapeutic experience tailored to each person’s unique needs.
My holistic approach provides a unique therapeutic experience, combining my therapeutic expertise with the healing power of nature and horses to support clients on their journey toward growth, resilience, and well-being. My clients often benefit from a combination of Nature-based Counselling and Equine Assisted Counselling in their healing journeys.
