Micaela Lombard

I am an intern wellness counsellor passionate about psychology, people and relationships. I believe that all people regardless of race, gender, social status or sexuality are deserving of the personalised assistance they require to become the healthiest and happiest version of themselves.

Providing a safe, non-judgemental space for my clients to explore, address and reflect on the challenges they face, is very important to me. I aim to work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful and achievable counselling goals to improve their relationship with themselves and with significant persons.

I am comfortable in dealing with a wide scope of challenges including trauma and crisis, relationship difficulties, self-harm, loss and grief, mental health challenges and abuse. The unique difficulties that children and young people experience is something I care deeply about. I aim to work holistically with children, young people and adults and to establish a strong counselling relationship to enable the process of healing and growth.

I hold a BA Undergraduate (Cum Laude) and an Honours degree (Cum Laude) in Psychology from the University of South Africa and have experience in working in a psychological practice as well as with disabilities. I am bilingual and can take on English and Afrikaans clients.
