General information

In today’s world where the nuclear family is rare (either broken, no longer recognised or where both parents work), counselling or psychological intervention has become a necessity. Not only are the children confused and without boundaries; but the parent(s) are exposed, and put into situations of uncertainty as they often cannot raise the child(ren) as they themselves where raised. Media, violence, divorce, re-marriage (blended families) and medication puts additional pressure, ambiguity and insecurity on the families.

Counsellors who are registered with the HPCSA (Health Professions Counsel of South Africa) are trained professionals who have completed their honours degree, mastered their board exams and are upheld by the very high ethical standards set by the health professions counsel (this is the same board that all doctors have to register with). Counselling offers a safe, private setting orientated at supporting individuals and families to function smoothly. Counsellors are trained to work with life events that detract from healthy / happy living. Anything from coping with bereavement or divorce to truancy and academic performance can be addressed with counselling. It is also a great way of getting re-connected with your partner and rebuilding love that once was (not the same, but stronger).
