Michael Nel, Randburg

I work with an individualized treatment plan, according to the person and the situation. Although the focus and process is unique for each individual, relationships and the interface between emotions and thinking/problem solving are key components of each of my counselling relationships. Although my general approach is a psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy, I draw on CBT, Nero Linguistical Programming (NLP), known for an important synthesis of knowledge about human communication and other approaches to best fit counselling to each client’s needs and understanding of his or her world.

My counselling focuses on increased mindfulness, enhanced self understanding, desired personal growth, connecting to one’s inner resourcefulness and the development of healthy coping skills. I work together with the client towards goal setting in a context of confidentiality and trust.
