About Carlien
Founder and Registered Counsellor
I love what I do.
When I was 11 years old, I realised that people were "my thing" and that I wanted to work in the psychological space. What began as a childhood insight has grown into a lifelong passion and purpose.
I welcome my clients with unconditional acceptance, meeting you wherever you are on your unique mental health journey—within your process and at your own pace. My approach is integrative and holistic, recognising and valuing all the elements that make you who you are.
Having experienced therapy myself, I understand how daunting taking that first step can feel. Even so, I encourage you to make this investment in yourself and your wellbeing.
I bring presence, focus, and unwavering dedication to every therapeutic relationship, working alongside you to help you achieve your goals and create meaningful, lasting change.
I offer in-person sessions at our main practice in Stellenbosch as well as online counselling nationwide.

My Special Interests
Everyone's experience is unique, but certain difficulties are especially common and can benefit from focused psychological support. I offer counselling and guidance in the following areas:

"The healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely."
