About Me

I am a Registered Counsellor, catering to:

• clients in the Southern Suburbs and Far South of Cape Town,

• and South Africans living abroad who prefer a South African therapist.

​

I am passionate about facilitating change and assisting my clients in moving forward in their lives. I see adults as well as teenagers from age 16 and older.

​

I provide online and in-person therapy for:

- parenting issues
- depression
- anxiety
- stress
- trauma
- anger
- life transitions such as:
- divorce,
- separations,
- bereavement and loss,
- re-location adjustment,
- and menopause.

​

I offer:
- a gentle, warm and empathetic approach, facilitating feelings of comfort, acceptance and hope,
- confidentiality
- emotional support
- tools to change
- education around your problems
- referral to other professionals when necessary.

​

I believe that change is possible with the right kind of assistance, and as a result your situation can improve, no matter how difficult things may seem in the moment.

​

My counselling approach is essentially Person-Centred, but does at times incorporate CBT, Narrative Therapy, Projective Play, and Positive Psychology as and when appropriate to the clients needs.

​

Since I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), you may claim from your medical aid for sessions provided your plan covers counselling. 

​

Please feel free to contact me on 082 297 6176 during working hours, or email ericasearlecounsellor@gmail.com with any queries you may have.

​

I consult online.

​

You are welcome to arrange an initial 20 minute online session to assess whether I am the right fit for you.
