Ms Kyra Gould

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“A specialist wellness counsellor working with adolescents and young adults to navigate life's challenge and foster resilience. I work remotely with virtual sessions, integrating compassion and self-understanding to create a safe home within your mind.”

About Me

I offer a supportive, virtual space for adolescents and young adults navigating life’s complexities. My aim is to help you foster resilience. We cultivate self-understanding and compassion, building a safe home within your mind. This approach is ideal for those seeking a personal journey to meet challenges and truly thrive.

Approach

Therapy unfolds through gentle, practical steps that meet you where you are, fostering empathy and deeper self-awareness. From Cape Town I work online in English, offering focused sessions that balance reflection, breath-based mindfulness and short between-session practices to support anxiety, grief or body-image concerns. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—tracking small changes, trying new habits and checking in on what feels sustainable. This way of working often suits adolescents and young adults seeking practical tools and steady support through life transitions.
