"There is hope that there is a professional for me, that can address my needs. You have turned my nerves into excitement. "

"I fortuitously found Dr. Piet at a time when I was dealing with an extremely complex issue that flooded my mind with overwhelming thoughts. Dr. Piet quickly helped me organize these thoughts, enabling me to address the most important issue at hand. From the first session onward, I experienced rapid improvement in my mood and my ability to calmly and effectively manage the traumatic event I was facing. As a medical doctor, I am grateful to have met such a highly competent and compassionate counselor. I personally confide in Dr. Piet for my wellness counseling needs and confidently refer him to my patients, family, and friends."

"It was my first session with Jenean. I immediately felt at ease as soon as the session started. She fits the profile I have had in mind when having reached out to find the right therapist. I look forward to my journey as difficult as it will be and I am confident I will be in a safe space in sharing and healing knowing that she will be there to guide me. Thank you, Jenean!"

"My roommate recommended me to Headroom, since the very first interaction with the team I have had direction and support, something I haven’t had for a while."

"I did not expect to leave this appointment excited, but I definitely am! Thank you."

"I’m honestly so glad that I found Jenean on my search to improving my mental health and coming to terms with my past. She is a safe space to work through my emotions and history and is very perceptive, often voicing my own thoughts to me before I’ve had a chance to verbalize them. She’s given me so much insight and tools to traversing my everyday life and offers the support I need even when I didn’t know that it was needed. Thank you Jenean!"

"I found the best therapist! She’s very understanding and gentle yet calculated and firm to pin point where problems originated from. She helps you address what the problem is, where it’s coming from, giving you the tools and understanding how to resolve it. Especially for trauma, toxic relationship patterns( romantically and familly originated problems from childhood) Dealing with anxiety and negative effects these problems created in us. Highly recommended for men and women that want resolve historical problems aswell as current issues. She gets to the bottom of things quickly toghether with a map to resolve issues."

"The journey with Dr Piet van Zyl has just begun and I am grateful to have come across his profile. He is attentive, and engaging which helps me reflect, and also interact. Having a therapist who prepares for the sessions, and provides exercises for self-awareness and growth is very important to me and this is conducted intentionally by Dr. Piet van Zyl. Thank you for the platform and time. This is going to be great for my journey to healing."

"I highly recommend Caterina for anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist. Her exceptional ability to connect and truly understand her clients' perspectives sets her apart. She has a remarkable skill in helping reframe situations, making the process of understanding and healing much easier. Her friendly and professional manner creates a comfortable environment, allowing for genuine and productive sessions. Cate has been instrumental in my personal growth and well-being and I’m grateful I came to working with her."

"I feel a little lighter after that 30 minutes. I am proud of myself for taking the step and very relieved that there is a professional to walk this journey with me."

"I was so nervous as our 30-minute appointment started and now I feel comforted, heard, and motivated to keep going on this journey.."

"I feel like I’m walking away with a smile on my face, and I never thought I could. Thank you for this 30 minute of direction and assistance."

"Holding space for my tears and growth... I was in tears within the first 10 minutes of the first session, and Kaleigh made me feel safe, supported and seen. In one session I released the pain suppressed for months… She is supportive, kind, empathic, and also balances sessions with practical action-focus for improving and better coping with life’s challenges. I can feel her passion for helping other people, and very grateful to have her support as I go through big life transitions."

"I had my headroom intro session with Kaleigh and it was great. She made me feel comfortable and i felt like she completely understood my needs. Starting therapy seemed daunting and i was anxious about finding the correct therapist for me but after our session my anxiety turned to excitement and confidence in beginning my journey."

"After a number of false and rough starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Kaleigh sooner! Kaleigh really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of negative and self defeating thinking. She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and constructively challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out a session with Kaleigh."

"I had a wonderful first session with Marcelle. She was very attentive, and patient. She helped me look at my struggles from a different perspective and gave useful insights. She made me feel understood and supported in my journey going forward. I look forward to more sessions with her."

"I recently attended a guidance session with Kaleigh and immediately felt at ease and heard. She explained the process and what to expect concisely and provided me with the necessary insight regarding what I was feeling, and guided me to the necessary professionals to start me on my journey towards healing. I would recommend her to anyone."

"I have had 8 sessions with Rowan so far and have found him to be very approachable and really listens to what you want to achieve from therapy. I appreciate his approach and how he introduces new perspectives and helps me to understand myself better. I am glad to have matched with Rowan who is helping me on my current journey."

"Rowan is just what I needed for this next phase of my life. Not only does he give me enough time to share my thoughts and feelings, but also guides and prompts me when necessary. This is my first time in therapy and my time with him was so worth it. I love how systematic his approach to our session was, asking me at each step of the way on my preference to some of the tools and therapy strategies we will be exploring in future. From a series of soul searching questions came a timeline and plan that clearly illustrates a therapist thoughtful in his approach and keen to uncovering and better managing underlying triggers of my constraints. Just from my first session, I can foresee the great impact we will achieve together. Thinking of having a therapist who has it all and with the calmest of demeanor and safe space? Go with Rowan, you won’t regret it. I am overly impressed (as you can already tell), to the point that I convinced two of my friends to sign up for his service. Thanks for giving me hope, Rowan. I look forward to our work in future."

"I had my headroom guidance session with Kaleigh and she was just such a warm and welcoming person. She made me feel safe to truly express what has been going on and she went out of her way to suggest 3 incredible counsellors for me. I really appreciate the time she took out of her day to help me begin my journey. Thank you Kaleigh."

"Keana is an incredible counsellor! She has vast insight, she takes the time to understand, and to also help me understand the things I am facing. She has a lot of empathy and has created an open, safe, and non-judgmental space for me to exist in during our sessions. Furthermore, she meets me with compassion, and has offered me useful tools and practical solutions that have made a difference in my daily life, therefore, my time with her can only be described as invaluable!"

"Liezel is reasonably priced and highly skilled. I had 30 minutes sessions with her and felt like we did not waste any time during the sessions. She is an excellent listener, and allowed me the room to express myself/feelings, making me feel heard. She remembered everything we discussed in previous sessions, and for remote therapy, I was astonished that she could recall everything. It simply went to show that she cared and took our sessions seriously. She also provided practical tools to you when needed. Thanks to these sessions, my mental state has improved and I was able to accomplish my goal."

"Anchen has been a true lifeline for me during a critical period where I needed someone to talk to the most. Her warmth and understanding created a safe haven where I felt comfortable to express and communicate my emotions. I’m truly thankful for her presence and support to my well-being and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled counsellor."

"Dr. Candice listened intently to what ails me, she gave me an understanding of what I’m thinking and feeling, and not once did I feel judged. I feel a sense of direction and I have a better understanding of how my brain works, which to me is important. Dr. Candice gave me perspective. I actually look forward to future sessions, which I thought to be impossible."
