Let’s talk
Start where you are. Share what you’re ready to.
You may be looking for support after a single overwhelming event, or for experiences that have stayed with you for years. You do not need to arrive with a complete explanation of what happened or know exactly what to call it.
At My Therapy, the conversation begins with what matters to you now: how you are coping, what feels difficult, and what you would like to be different. Your practitioner will discuss the scope of support and whether another professional should be involved.
- Difficult childhood experiences
- Loss and significant life changes
- The impact of crime or an accident
- Sexual trauma and relationship experiences
- Feeling overwhelmed by reminders of the past
- Finding steadier ways to cope
Trauma counselling, at a pace you can discuss.
You might be looking for trauma counselling in Pretoria East, support with childhood experiences, or a way to speak about something that still affects you. Start with what feels manageable; you can ask about the practitioner’s approach before deciding to book.
Riaan offers appointments in Silver Lakes and online. Anna-Mart works online only. Your practitioner will discuss the support they can offer and whether another specialist would better meet your needs.
Working together
An approach you understand.
The first priority is to understand your needs and agree on an approach together. Riaan and Anna-Mart describe an integrated approach in their practice, drawing on different therapeutic models. Ask your practitioner which methods they propose, their relevant training, and what the work would involve before deciding to proceed.
Your first appointment
A conversation to begin with.
An initial session is a conversation about your current concerns, history you feel ready to share, and your goals. You can ask questions, take time, and discuss boundaries. There is no requirement to tell your whole story in the first appointment.
Riaan offers in-person sessions at Silver Lakes and online appointments. Anna-Mart works online only. Confirm the current fee and duration before booking. The practice has a 24-hour cancellation policy.
