Hi welcome to my page. I am a South African immigrant to the United Kingdom. I am residing in the United Kingdom. My experience in counselling, mental health and wellbeing practitioner spans over 25 years. I am a Christian and my faith is part of my identity. However I work with people from all faiths, spiritual backgrounds and those with no faith. I strongly believe that we are all on a journey towards living a balanced and beautiful life.
I have worked within areas of family therapy, couple counselling, anxiety, domestic abuse, trauma, abandonment, addictions, resilience, adapting to life changes, cultural issues, moving to a different country and adapting to a new culture, family interactions, family dynamics, change of work place, community changes ,faith, forgiveness, peace and self acceptance.
My approach is Person - Centered, I do not give you answers. We explore together while I facilitate what it is that you need to explore. I see myself as very privileged to walk alongside you on your journey towards better wellness .I also use a framework called QSL (Quantum Social Learning ),HEAL (Human Experience Augmenting Language) the founder is Dr Carlo Monsanto an amazing human being dedicating himself to educating communities in order to empower the communities to be well rounded, healthy, strong, nurtured and balanced individuals. This is an approach based on using body mapping, sensations and listening to your body and mind to equip the individual to self - exploration and self-healing and integrating past and or present trauma.
I hold Teaching (Primary) ,Sports(Basketball) , Post Graduate Diploma in Person - Centered Counselling. Certificate in the QSL Framework and Methodology(www.iolee.life) and Community leadership qualifications.
I have also completed many courses in Resilience, Forgiveness, Anger and Unforgiveness, Conflict Resolution, Mental Health, Mentoring and Coaching. Having been the client myself, I bring an authentic approach to my work and relationship in the therapy setting.

Jacintha is the most compassionate woman, she knows my needs exactly. She listens and guides me and doesn’t push me too hard, too fast, but knows what pace to work at when dealing with some of my main issues. She knows when the right time is to ask the hard questions that I need to hear. She is a great listener and reaches out to me often, multiple times a week to send encouraging messages and things for me consider throughout the week between sessions. I would recommend her over and over again. She is helping me transform into the woman I was designed to be and I am so glad I crossed paths with her. I am forever changed by her and her impact in my life.
