If I Loved Myself Practitioners

Are you suffering from feelings of low self-esteem, loneliness or anxiety? Feeling emotional for no reason, as if you just don't fit in? Feeling misunderstood or isolated? Do you feel tired and unable to keep up with your daily routine, challenged by incongruency regarding your sexual identity, relationship difficulties and/or adjusting to life changes? These issues are usually catalysts to dysfunctional relationships, stress and feelings of helplessness. Speaking to a Therapist is a good step towards improving your mental health.

I'm a Registered Counsellor and Child & Youth Care Practitioner with more than two decades of experience including psychoeducation, trauma therapy, debriefing & support groups for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

I offer short & long-term therapy to adolescents & adults. I offer trauma support for gender-based violence, debriefing, LGBTQ+ issues, individual, family & couples therapy. I serve with clients who struggles with life changes and couples and individuals who struggle to communicate and make themselves heard. I’m dedicated to empowering the LGBTQ+ community by creating platforms that encourages open dialogue related to various ontologies that promotes agency.
I view each client as case specific and identify the appropriate treatment model after an initial assessment to address the clients' specific needs. I make use of CBT, Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused, Person Centred and Strengths-Based Therapy Models. I also utilize the Circle of Courage model which focusses on the strengths of the individual, including
Belonging; Mastery; Generosity and Independence.
My authenticity is underpinned by my lived and work experiences, therefore I am deeply attuned in building and maintaining a positive rapport with my clients and approach the therapeutic process with empathy and optimism. Networking with other mental health stakeholders is my forte in guiding and supporting my clients to evolve into their best authentic self and improved, holistic mental health.

I love to work with leaders that are exploring transitions and navigating change in the workplace. The change space is a
complex arena and being able to make decisions when the future is uncertain, when available information is ambiguous can be challenging. To be able to develop the ability to make leadership decisions in a self-loving manner, I believe, awakens a valuable leadership talent.

I work with senior leaders in both corporate and in the development sector, who are leading their teams into an unknown future world of work. The coaching sessions create a safe space for leaders to explore the aspects that they hold most dear, as well as what they most fear, in their leadership journey.

I work in a person-centred way, honouring the client’s lived experience as well as exploring how the forging of new decision-making pathways might open up possibilities that support the clients leadership purpose.

I am naturally curious about people and I love spending time in the ocean.

I love the process of coaching! It is dynamic and exciting and in my experience can change lives forever. I enjoy working with clients through transformation in all areas of life. I coach towards self love, self compassion, self acceptance - bringing joy and meaning into their lives through finding and living from their essence and their truth. I take clients on a journey of personal growth and integration through the co-creating of goals. This journey is usually a 3 -6 month one. 

I also do short term ‘deep dive’ coaching towards a particular issue /pattern / concern. This is a 3- session process and might be all that is necessary to create a wanted significant shift. I use my 30 years of experience of working with children, teens, individuals, couples, families and teams through myriads of circumstances to inform my current coaching practice. 

I am a current Licensed Marriage and Child Therapist (LMFT) in Los Angeles, California and have also coached for the past 25 years and am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), was a teacher and later a Director of an Early Childhood Center. I am also a grateful mom of a teen and a very happy ceramist.

I am a Registered Counsellor and I work for Maranatha Community Church. I enjoy working with everyone within the community helping them deal with any issues concerning their lives. I have been trained to deal with trauma. I do however love working with children helping them to learn about themselves and their uniqueness. This often involves their academics, their own understanding and self-esteem. The 'If I loved myself' training promotes the emphasis on self-esteem and being ok with your own choices. My environment has given me the privilege of seeing this need first hand which most children especially teenagers need today.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with teenagers, adults, couples and families. My life’s purpose is to make the world a little happier, a little brighter.

I am a healer to the core and I have been this way for as long as I can remember. The reason I chose psychology is because my primary aim is to heal and strengthen the individual. I believe that if we all heal ourselves, the world will take care of itself.

For me there is no greater joy in life than being able to help someone heal their pain, overcome their fears, let go of their anger, love themselves, believe in themselves as well as help them find, and navigate, the path on which they can manifest their dreams and their greatness.

I actually attended the course to assist me at a rather difficult time in my personal life. After experiencing the benefits first hand, I am of the opinion that it would actually be a crime not to assist in making this amazing work more accessible to people who need it to make sense of, change or make life more meaningful!

Pls reach out to me if you have any doubt in your mind or if you are considering the course. I hope to put your mind at ease about the concrete changes that you will experience that will change decision making altogether!

Seeing the devastating effects of poor cancer care first-hand in close friends and relatives, Dr Motilall made it her mission that all patients (and their families) under her care would be treated with the utmost love, dignity and respect.

Nicknamed "Dr Gentle Hands" by her patients, she cares deeply for them and devotes her time and love to them.

This multitalented doctor treats a broad range of solid malignancies, with a special interest in breast, prostate, gynaecological, head and neck, lung and central nervous system tumours. She is highly skilled in treating tumours with various radiation modalities, including Gamma Knife, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiation, intraoperative radiation and conventional radiation methods. Dr Motilall is an active participant in many multi-disciplinary forums related to cancer treatment.

She and her team consult at the Netcare Milpark Hospital as well as hospitals in Alberton, Benoni, Krugersdorp, Modderfontein and Randburg.

I am a physiotherapist with a deep passion for empowering people with practical skills in their journey of restoring their body’s health - to feel well, strong and resilient again.

One of the key elements of my approach is the ALLOW exercise – it is such a gentle yet extremely powerful and uplifting exercise. It not only guides you to promote positive changes to your physical health, but it also empowers you in a unique way to authentically be the best version of yourself, benefiting both you and those around you.

I am excited to share this with you!

Our hands and their forms and markings are maps to self- understanding. During chirology readings I am channelling intuitively, offering dialogue therapy and holding presence as a listener. Your hands provide a point of departure into an inner guided tour during which together we inquire into your physical, emotional, vocational, mental and spiritual realms.

You receive gentle guidance, empathic comfort, increased clarity and a broader perspective about all areas of your life. These include self-worth, life purpose, relationships, health and spirituality, as well as support for bereavement, addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, narcissistic abuse and recovery, intimacy, financial matters, family and home life and more.

My first love is being hands on and helping my clients feel safe in their bodies. We cannot think our way to feeling safe, we can only feel our way to feeling safe.
Through my work I love helping clients learn to come into their bodies and learn to trust their inner wisdom.
