Welcome
Therapeutic counselling
Life can be brutal and chaotic, yet also redemptive.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are something isn’t sitting right. Maybe you’re carrying something you haven’t said out loud yet, or you’re tired of the same anxious 3am thought, the same way of coping that isn’t really working anymore.
I’m Bob. I offer a space where you can talk about the actual issue, not the tidy version of it, and be met with curiosity and thoughtful questions instead of judgement. Often the very parts of ourselves we try hardest to avoid are the ones asking to be understood.
Clients tell me they start to feel less overwhelmed and with a clearer sense of where to go next. They also discover that counselling doesn’t have to be relentlessly serious, and that they appreciate a space where even humour has a transformative role. We won’t just talk about “the problem.” We’ll look for practical ways forward.
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected and ready for something to change, counselling with Bob can be where it starts to shift. Let’s talk.
“We can be driven by what we do not understand about ourselves” James Hollis

What we can work on
I haven’t yet encountered an aspect of this being human that does not interest me, but here are a few that clients present with.
Sessions
In-person in Hout Bay and online.
I have rooms in Hout Bay, Cape Town, for in-person sessions. I have also found that online sessions work better than you might imagine, and serve many clients overseas.
