Ms Corlia Branders, BA

Certified Professional Counselor

“Scholastic support, dyslexia, stress related issues, relationship, career counseling, personality and brain profiling.”

About Me

I help individuals understand their unique strengths and challenges across life's transitions. Through scholastic and career counselling, alongside personality and brain profiling, we can clarify paths forward. This approach offers clarity for those navigating dyslexia, academic pressures, or workplace stress. It's about gaining insights to build stronger relationships and make confident life choices. I have a special interest in supporting clients with relationship problems. Learners requiring accommodations/concessions are ethically and professionally assessed in accordance with the educational institution's guidelines, including IEB, SACAI, and the Department of Education’s Policies.

Approach

Moving from clarity to practical steps, I guide clients through a blend of structured assessment and conversational work so we can translate insights into manageable goals. Sessions in Modimolle or online are relaxed and bilingual, paced to each person—short, focused tasks for younger children, reflective conversation and planning for adolescents and adults. Between meetings I share simple strategies and small experiments to try at school, work or home, then we review what helped. This way of working suits anyone wanting clear, doable change.
