At the Counselling & Mediation Centre, we provide supportive psychological counselling and interventions for children, adolescents, young adults and families, with a particular focus on helping children and parents navigate the emotional challenges of separation, divorce, general life transitions and changing family relationships.

Our team supports children in understanding and expressing their emotions, developing healthy coping skills and adjusting to challenging life circumstances.

Our child-centred approach incorporates non-directive, play-based counselling methods, alongside age-appropriate emotional regulation techniques and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-informed coping strategies. Through a supportive and developmentally sensitive process, children are encouraged to explore their feelings, strengthen emotional awareness and develop resilience during periods of uncertainty and change.

Our services also extend to young adults, parents, couples and families experiencing relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and the emotional impact of separation or divorce as well as general life challenges and developmental transitions. We provide supportive counselling, psychoeducation and practical guidance aimed at strengthening communication, emotional wellbeing and healthy adjustment.

In addition to counselling services we offer specialized mediation support for parents, individuals and families going through divorce. Through mediation, we assist separating and divorcing parents in navigating co-parenting arrangements, managing disagreements and developing practical, child-focused parenting plans in accordance with the Children's Act 38 of 2005.

We recognise that separation and divorce can affect every member of the family differently. Our approach therefore emphasises children's emotional wellbeing, parental understanding and constructive communication, while recognising the importance of appropriate professional referrals where specialised intervention is required.

At the Counselling & Mediation Centre, our aim is to help children and families navigate life's transitions with greater understanding, emotional support and practical guidance.
