What type of counselling services do you offer?

At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.

What qualifications do you have?

To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.

What is the main reason your clients come to you?

Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

I’m truly satisfied with the service I got. Nonhlanhla met me in a point in my life where I felt directionless and cluttered mentally. She helped me unpack to get to the root cause of my problem thereafter steps I needed to take to better my life. One thing I can say about her is that she is easy to talk to and she does not give short cuts, she aims to achieve true wellness

Coach Mashudu, It all started when I was doing my vision board, I started doing vision boards about years ago and consistently the relationships area was always low. And I didn't know how I was supposed to improve it. But I guess it was time in 2025, when that came up again, Coach explained why it was a problem. And the only thing I had on my vision board was the relationship to myself. And all I can say is wow wow wow, what a best decision I have ever taken in my life, spending 12 weeks on the Relationship classes healing my self and understanding how childhood, motherhood and fatherhood wounds were affecting me, and I continuosly sacrificed my self trying to make external relationships work only to find out that I was actually fighting with myself. I attracted toxic people, because of the toxicity that was inside. Brokenness from traumas I encountered when I was younger, I was in awe to find out that I did not love myself, I was not gentle towards myself, I literally crucified myself, blamed myself I did not forgive myself for mistakes that I did in the past. There were a whole lot of things that were going wrong in my life. I knew I deserved better, but I continuously made wrong decisions, even when I knew what needed to happen in my life. What I can say is, it is a continuous journey to get to the healing, but I have never felt like this in my life, it's like I have been awaken from long sleep, to my surprise even diseases in my body are starting to heal. There is a saying that if you want to change the world, change yourself first that is making sense so much. The eyes that we use to look at the world can be toxic, and we endeup not seeing anything good in our life's. The process for me was cleaning or clearing the eyes of my soul so I can even see myself as how God created me. Thank you Sooo much Coach Mashudu, this is just the highlights, I can write a book of this journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A compassionate counsellor is how I'd describe her. She prioritised to give me a session even though she was fully busy on that day. She saved my life
