Miss Makhauta Hlaodi

Psychologist

Verified

I am a counselling psychologist and my work aims towards facilitating emotional insight, healing, growth and meaningful change in the various areas of an individual's life. I work with clients struggling with relationship issues, work-related stress, academic concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety and mood disorders

About Me

As a Counseling psychologist, I work to help you gain emotional insight and foster meaningful change. I support individuals navigating relationship challenges, work-related stress, or complex emotions like anxiety and depression. Our sessions provide a safe space to explore these areas, helping you understand your experiences more deeply. This collaborative approach supports your journey towards personal growth and lasting well-being.

Approach

You’ll find the work focused and practical, naming patterns, exploring feelings and setting small steps that fit your life. In sessions in Alberton or online I hold a steady, respectful pace—sometimes quiet, sometimes direct—so adolescents, adults and parents can try new responses and make sense of painful moments. Between meetings I often suggest brief practices or reflective notes to track changes in mood, stress and relationships. This approach tends to suit those seeking clear, compassionate support through grief, burnout, trauma or family strain.
