A Happy Life Is Within Reach
Meet Liezel
Qualified supportive counsellor
I am deeply passionate about making a difference in people’s lives and enhancing overall well-being. I go out of my way to ensure that every client’s counselling journey is as comfortable and enriching as possible.
​
I am fully aware that the choice to enter counselling, is a difficult decision, but I am here to support you through the entire journey of healing. Change is possible! With a strong focus on providing physical, mental, and emotional support. I offer a safe, non-judging space where clients can delve into and explore core issues that are preventing them from living their life to the fullest.
I believe that every client is an expert on their own life, and only through a willingness to adapt, can change take place. I aim to be a co-facilitator on your journey to healing and self-growth.
"No matter what happened to you in the past, it is possible to move forward and lead a happy life once again. If you would like to talk about starting your journey to recovery, please feel free to contact me to make an appointment."

What to expect
during your first consultation
I listen with empathy and without judgement. When we first meet, I will ask you a few questions to understand what challenges you are facing at the moment.
​
Rather than dictating to you what the possible next steps are, I provide you with information that can lead you to the next steps, specifically applicable for your life.
​
We will work together as a team in a comfortable, safe space where you can simply be yourself.
“I approached Liezel after being mentally and emotionally stuck in a bad marriage for 10 years. Without her help, I would not have realized that I was in a mentally abusive triangle with my partner. She made me realize that my feelings and emotions matter."

How do I book an appointment?You can phone me directly, send an enquiry through the website or send a whatsapp to 083 300 6549.
-
What is the typical duration of a session?A session is one hour (60 minutes).
-
Can I claim back from my medical aid?No. Only clinical psychologists and medical doctors may claim from medical schemes. I however, have various payment methods (cash, card, EFT) to accommodate all my clients.
-
How much do you charge for a session?R450 per session (cash, EFT or card facility available).
-
How many sessions will be needed?The duration- or number of sessions needed with a counsellor will greatly vary depending on many factors. These include the severity of the problem, the time you need to make necessary changes for example: habits and coping mechanisms. Each person is different. There is no one-size-fits-all plan for treatment.
-
Will the information discussed during a consultation remain confidential?Most definitely! The communication between a counsellor and their client is protected by law, almost like attorney-client privilege. However, there are a generally recognized exception to this confidentiality protection. Counsellors have a 'duty to warn' if they learn that a client plans to harm themselves or another person. Counsellors are also legally obligated to report child abuse.
-
Will I have to sit in a waiting room with other clients?No – I do not schedule appointments back to back so no other client should be around either when you arrive or when you leave. Your session begins within minutes of your arrival.
-
Can I only see you at your office?I prefer face to face consultations as it is more personal. I do however, offer online consultations. Whichever option makes you feel more comfortable.
-
What is your cancellation policy?I require a 24 hours’ notice of cancellation or you will need to pay for the appointment. An occasional exception may be made in the case of an emergency. It’s important that we meet consistently in order to make progress.
