About Me

As Gené, a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I offer a truly nurturing space. Here, you can explore life's challenges with empathy and support. I guide individuals and couples through grief, relationship concerns, and trauma. Our person-centred approach always centres your unique needs. Sessions help you process difficult emotions and build practical tools for holistic well-being. Clients appreciate this space for navigating complex feelings and fostering personal growth.

Approach

You’ll notice a gentle, steady rhythm in our work—deep listening followed by small, practical experiments that honour your pace and experiences. Whether we meet in Randburg or online, in Afrikaans or English, I keep sessions focused, collaborative and geared toward coping with grief, stress, mood shifts and relationship strains. Between meetings I may suggest brief reflections or manageable practices to track changes and build resilience. People who want compassionate, pragmatic change find this way of working helpful.
