EmilySpecialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP)
Meet Emily.
Emily is a Specialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP) with a BSc from Stellenbosch University, a BA Honours (cum laude) from UNISA, and an MSc (cum laude) from the University of Edinburgh. She is based in Cape Town and works primarily within a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework: focused, evidence-based, and practical.
The work is about understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and then making concrete changes where it counts.
A note on registration: because of my foreign qualification, registration with the HPCSA is still in progress. As such, I am not a registered psychologist in South Africa and cannot provide psychotherapy sessions. For now, the counselling work I do is informed by CBT but is not complete CBT work, and is not funded by medical aids.
Also on the team
And this is Bisous.
Bisous is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a strong therapeutic presence and no formal registration. She's good at sitting with discomfort (mostly yours). She also strongly believes in the clinical value of going outside.
A note on registration: Bisous is on her way to become a qualified Therapet. Most recently, she passed the KUSA CGC Puppy test and now has her eyes set on CGC Bronze. Make sure to follow her on our Instagram page!
