If you’re thinking “Things are too hard right now”, “I don’t know how to get through this”, “Where did my happiness go?” or “Something needs to change, but I don’t know how to get there”, it’s time to get professional help.
Contact us on 021 070 0132 to book your first session.
We provide an environment which is supportive and respectful, solution-focused and non-judgemental. We enjoy supporting people in learning new ways of thinking about and dealing with challenges while helping them connect with their inner strengths and skills.
Building a strong and happy relationship is about understanding the patterns that cause distance and tension between you and your partner and learning how to consciously create more closeness. Couples’ counselling with Jan will increase understanding, listening and caring in your relationship which on the one hand helps reduce the chance of separation or divorce, but also leads to reconnection and a brighter future together.
If you aren’t sure yet what you need, we can discuss this with you and combine modalities and approach according to the issues you want to work on and the goals you want to achieve.
