The LCA Life experience:
My clients are able to come into a safe, caring and confidential environment, to explore their feelings, beliefs and behaviours.
Clients are free to work through challenging or influential life events, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
I aim to empower my clients to confidently face difficult situations, overcome personal barriers, navigate life transitions, and ultimately view their lives with a hopeful and enlightened perspective. By empowering my clients, they are able to keep progressing even after their coaching/counselling journey with me comes to an end. Witnessing my clients grow to overcome challenges and achieve their goals, is my privilege on a daily basis.
The coaching/counselling process, is a collaboration between the client and myself; it is not a one way stream of communication. In order for progress to occur, it is of paramount importance that the coaching/counselling relationship be firmly grounded on trust; without trust as the foundation, a client will maintain their defense mechanisms firmly in place, which is counterproductive to the entire growth process.
The topic of trust now brings me to the related topics of, a counsellor's responsibility to take a nonjudgmental stance, and maintaining strict confidentiality. I hold each one of my clients in high regard and accept each unique individual for all that they are; I do this from an open-minded and nonjudgmental position.
On the topic of confidentiality, I am unwavering, and regardless of whether the client is 13 or 40, I do not disclose any information that is shared with me by the client with any other party, parent or otherwise. The only exceptions to this strict confidentiality is under circumstances where the client discloses their intention to harm themselves or someone else, or if my client personally requests that I share certain information with a third party. Confidentiality is a key factor that is essential in order to build and maintain the relationship of trust between client and coach, thus supporting the client's positive growth.
Areas of focus include:

My normal fee per session is R450; this is the "pay-as-you-go" session rate, and payment is required on the day of each session in cash, or prior to the session via EFT (proof of payment required).
I believe in keeping my fees cost-effective so that my clients are able to get the coaching/counselling assistance that they need, without having to worry about affordability. Therefore, I have made various packages available that are offered at discounted rates, with the condition of upfront payment for the full amount:
