πβ¨ Space for Sorrow, Room for Joy

Feeling stuck in negative loops? π€ Research confirms that counseling is a powerful, evidence-based path to change!
Itβs not just talkingβit's actively learning to rewire your mind and habits. Here's how:
1. Break Unhealthy Thought Patterns π€― Counseling (like CBT) helps you become a detective for your own mind. It teaches you to spot and challenge negative, automatic thoughts, replacing them with balanced perspectives. This process breaks the cycles of worry and self-criticism. (Source: Mayo Clinic, NIH)
2. Tailor Your Coping Strategies π οΈ Forget one-size-fits-all advice. Counseling is collaborative! You develop personalized skillsβfrom mindfulness to problem-solvingβthat are specifically designed for your unique challenges, giving you concrete tools to manage tough moments. (Source: Cleveland Clinic)
3. Promote Lasting Behavioral Changes β¨ The goal is action! Techniques like Behavioral Activation help you gradually re-engage in activities that bring joy and a sense of accomplishment. By changing what you do, you build confidence and create sustainable, positive habits. (Source: NIH Research)
Counseling empowers you to understand your mind, build robust skills, and take concrete steps towards a healthier life.

The Family Counselling Centre was founded in response to the overwhelming need for affordable and professional counselling in the South Peninsula. Families are struggling with the effects of divorce, financial strain, drug and alcohol abuse, trauma and disability. The variety of cultures in the βFar Southβ, the economic climate, together with the ever-increasing pressures of school and work, are impacting negatively on individuals and families.
We started our story in March 2015 in a garage on the hillside of Fish Hoek. We soon moved to Valyland Centre and slowly over 3 years expanded from sharing one room with another practitioner to occupying 3 rooms at Valyland. The vision right from the start was all about serving the community of the βfar southβ and we aim to remain true to this as we grow.
Initially the focus was only on counselling and providing a save space for the individual and families who seek assistance with their struggles. This remains our priority however we have added other aspects to our services. We now also provide workshops and talks on various topics. We support local social workers and volunteers working for NGOβs in our area by offer staff development and counselling to the teams who provide essential services to our community.
The centre aims to provide professional yet affordable services covering the specific needs of each individual client. We have a team of professionals to assist and guide you and your family towards relational health and well-being. Our team currently consists of counsellors, a social worker, educational psychologist, family lawyer, financial adviser and other additional practitioners we can call on if the need arises.
