Hello, I’m Gerrit Nel, a Counselling Psychologist,

I'm deeply committed to enhancing your well-being. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Johannesburg University, where I focused on an integrative, holistic approach to mental health and well-being.

In my practice, I firmly believe that everyone has the innate potential to actualise their fullest selves, yet often, guidance and support are needed to unlock this potential. My aim is to be a catalyst in your journey of self-discovery, helping you identify your strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve your personal and professional goals. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to make positive changes in your life.

My expertise spans a broad range of areas, including psychotherapy, psycho-education, psychometric testing, career counselling, and specialising in human sexuality and gender studies.

I am keenly interested in mindfulness-based interventions, which I believe are essential in helping individuals become more aware of the present moment and cultivate flexibility in their behaviour. Though I have considerable experience working with adolescents, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to people from all walks of life, especially those from sexual and gender minorities.

I also use technology to assist people outside the therapy room.

My particular areas of interest include:

• Trauma
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Mindfulness
• Neurocognitive Psychology
• Human Sexuality and Gender Studies
