EmilySpecialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP)
Hi, I'm 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. Before this, she spent years in the corporate world as a pharmaceutical rep, and developed her skills in sales, public speaking, and interpersonal connection.
The core purpose of Emily's work is to help her clients better understand themselves and assist them in developing resilience while making concrete changes.
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.
Therapet in training
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!
