Holistic Psychology Counselling

FIND THE ANSWERS INSIDE YOURSELF
THROUGH HOLISTIC PSYCHOLOGY COUNSELLING

Stephanie van Niekerk offers holistic psychology counselling in Pretoria and online therapy via Zoom/Skype/WhatsApp video. Individuals who grasp and appreciate ideas and philosophies rooted in emotional awareness and spiritual consciousness – and accept the unity of mind, body, and spirit – feel at home with her. So too, those who respect Western norms, values, and belief systems yet are open to new discoveries. 

My Services

THROUGH THE COUNSELLING /
TEACHING PROCESS, YOU ACQUIRE THE TOOLS TO FIND THE ANSWERS INSIDE YOURSELF

GET TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
The human being is an undivided entity encompassing body, mind, emotions, and spirit. For psychological healing to take place, these parts require a state of balance and harmony. Though it does not always seem to be the case, we all contain “wholeness” already. We can attain inner health through wholeness therapy to remove blocks, childhood conditioning, limiting beliefs, existing distortions, and dividing polarities. I work with adults to resolve day-to-day living, relationship, and family issues. I may suggest you consult a specialist in the field if I suspect you need assistance with more severe mental health concerns.

TO ATTAIN BALANCE
 ” … there needs to be a stillness, the mind and heart need to come from a place of quiet, so that we are moved, not by the ups and downs of the externals, but by the inner currents.”
Dr Barbara Forest – Holistic Psychotherapist Toronto, Canada

THE JOURNEY
 ” … every part of you is trying to do something for you … Turn everything into a resource by finding out what a block or distortion is doing FOR you and creating an alternative route for that drive.“
Dr Barbara Forest – Holistic Psychotherapist Toronto, Canada

About Me

My studies in holistic counselling enabled me to do in-depth work with clients and students over more than three decades. A mentor must create a safe space where participants can explore the possibility of being open to experience, reach a willingness to discover who they are – or could become – and realise that connecting with their feelings will lead to their own solutions.
 
Generally, South Africans carry considerable tension in their bodies, which they are usually unaware of. We employ this self-protection mechanism unconsciously to suppress stress, fear, anger, and a sense of helplessness to cope with everyday life. I can assist via online and one-on-one anxiety therapy. Emotional responses have corresponding sensations in the body, but we cannot receive the messages we are trying to send ourselves if the “feeling button” is switched off. 

We remain disconnected from ourselves and cannot access our inner wisdom and personal truths when the messages between the body, mind, emotions, and spirit are blocked. Let me help you connect with your feelings and guide you towards integration using depression therapy.
