Hi there, and welcome to Cardia Counselling.
I'm Carlé, an HPCSA Registered Counsellor (PRC 0045942 | Practice Number: 1319833) with a deep passion for supporting individuals and communities on their journey toward emotional well-being, personal growth and healing. I hold a BPsych Equivalent degree (Cum Laude) from the South African College of Applied Psychology, as well as a Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) Honours degree in Psychology from the North-West University. My professional journey has allowed me to gain valuable experience in both educational and community-based settings.
The word Cardia comes from the Greek word kardía, meaning “heart.” In many cultures and traditions, the heart is seen as the centre of emotion, compassion, courage, and connection. In counselling, this reflects the importance of understanding not only the mind, but also the emotional and relational experiences that shape who we are. At Cardia Counselling, the focus is on heart-centred care - creating a safe, empathetic space where clients feel deeply heard, valued, and supported as they work toward healing, growth, and emotional well-being.
I generally work with adults, children over the age of 12, families, couples and corporate clients. My goal is to walk alongside people with compassion, respect and encouragement as they work toward greater emotional well-being, resilience and fulfilment.
