Counselling can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, Counselling has also been shown to have many benefits. Counselling often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reduction in feelings of distress. However, there are not guarantees of what you will experience.
Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some impressions/Problem identifications of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with Counselling. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions of whether you feel comfortable working with me. Counselling involves a large commitment of time, money and energy.

Background
Restorative Legal & Mediation Practice was born out of a need for a more humane, accessible, and holistic approach to legal and wellness services in South Africa. With communities burdened by unresolved conflicts, emotional distress, and a lack of affordable legal support, this practice bridges the gap between legal remedies and personal healing. The firm integrates paralegal support, family mediation, counselling, and legal consulting to offer clients dignified, compassionate, and restorative solutions under one roof. Rooted in principles of justice, dignity, and wholeness, the practice empowers individuals, families, and small businesses to resolve disputes, restore relationships, and thrive.
Counselling
My sessions last for around 90 minutes, and we will usually meet once a week, though this is negotiable. If your circumstances change and the session time is no longer suitable, I will do my best to accommodate this and offer you an alternative time. Sessions will not take place if the client is under the influence of alcohol or other mind-altering substances as this masks our true self and is not beneficial to the counselling process.
