Ananke le Roux

Hi! My name is Ananke le Roux. I have a BA degree in Psychology and English, as well as a BA Honours degree in Psychology. I have worked with children of different ages for four years and have learned a lot from them as we are never too old to learn or help those around us. I am currently a specialist wellness counsellor student at Humanitas as I am passionate about assisting people in their journey towards healing and growth. Those around me describes me as an extremely good sounding board, listener, and shoulder to cry on. Thus, the Humanitas counselling course has given me the needed tools and guidance so that these skills can be used professionally. Sometimes life can be difficult to navigate through as we experience a wide variety of emotions on a daily basis. Emotions are such wonderful things as they have the ability to colour and decorate the day, making it unique from the previous days or the days ahead. However, some days our emotions are darker in colour and we don’t understand them, and that’s perfectly normal. Achieving good mental health can be a rocky road to travel when you feel alone. The decision to seek counselling is the biggest and bravest step one can take in the whole journey of achieving good mental health. When making this decision we embark on a journey in which we work towards healing, growth, and achieving good mental health. In this journey the person-centred approach will be used as each individual has their own unique set of challenges, processes, and goals. The person-centred approach allows me to work collaboratively with you towards the goals you want to reach within the journey in which we work towards healing, growth, and achieving good mental health. I am excited to start this journey WITH YOU!
