Psychological support and guidance

to realise your natural capacity to adapt and thrive.

Welcome

I’m Kirstien, a psychologist, coach, educator and counsellor.

I’ve seen that when people become more aware of who they are and how they are innately designed to adapt, recover and thrive, they live life with more clarity and peace of mind, able to embrace unforeseen possibilities.

  • Mental wellbeing

    One to One Support

    When we are faced with life’s transitions and challenges, it can feel like we loose touch with ourselves and those around us.

    Whether you are dealing with a demanding job, relationship difficulties, or bereavement; experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, post traumatic stress or depression; seeking personal growth and fulfilment of potential.

    I will listen to where you are at and point you in the direction of better understanding your mind/body operating system, and innate source of your wisdom, resilience and healing intelligence. Once you locate and trust in this, you will always know where to look for guidance.

  • Relationship Support

    The quality of our relationships with partners, family, friends and colleagues reflects the quality of our life; - how fulfilled, content, happy and productive we are.

    For numerous reasons, we can feel frustrated and unhappy in our relationships which is detrimental to our wellbeing.

    Seeing how humans create the quality of relationships they have enables us to shift out of a stuck place and reconnect with good will even when things seem irreconcilable and we choose to go separate ways.

    I offer relationships support for partners, family members, friends and colleagues.

  • Psychedelic Integration Support

    “Plant medicines and other psychedelic treatments can reveal the psychological baggage that you have carried all your life, when you acknowledge this baggage, you realise it is not an inevitable and inextricable part of you. You can finally put it down.

    All the pain and all the meanings that you have created from that pain, all the ways you see yourself, and all the interpretations you have made of the world because of early experience can drop away and you can just be in the present. That’s very powerful.

    Psychedelic experiences may also reveal or at least allow you to glimpse your full potential as a loving and connected human being” Gabor Mate

    I offer integration support to optimise people’s psychedelic experiences so it enhances their lives in a lasting and positive way.

Appreciations

  • I have had the privilege of working with Kirstien during both the most challenging and rewarding periods of my life. Her proactive, patient and compassionate guidance has consistently helped me to acknowledge my strengths and has inspired me to strive for the best version of myself, even when I didn’t understand this myself. Kirstien was a great source of support and an incredible listening ear, during the bereavement of my dad. Her calm and nurturing nature has encouraged and empowered me to develop and grow into a more confident and accepting person, capable of processing the loss of my father.

  • I just wanted to say thank you for all the support you gave me a few months back. I feel so much better than I did when we first met; so much stronger and more peaceful, possibly than I have ever felt… The conversations that you and I had, and the approach that you taught me helped so much, not just to get out of a hole but also to help me live a better life than even before everything went wrong. So thank you Kirstien, thanks for your time and empathy. I really do appreciate it, you are a great teacher and a lovely person.

    Nicky C, Environment Agency

  • Thank you from the centre of my being for guiding me through this so gently and patiently! I feel very blessed to have met you and will always value the support and advice that you have given me. I am blown away by the shift in my thinking in such a short time. Thank you so, so much for opening my eyes!!

    Janine R, Accountant

  • We both found the approach you took with us to be exactly what we needed, and feel immeasurably stronger because of the things we spoke about”.

  • In the high pressure role of freelance film designer, Kirstien supported me to confront key obstacles I faced in my thinking which enabled me to trust more in my creative expertise and vision. With her guidance I was able stay more grounded and find clarity amidst stressful times. Super grateful to have had her by my side.

    Alex Walker, Freelance Film Designer

  • Upstream (for Kirstien) A sea of thought swept over my brow. How to survive is all I know now. A river of tears flowed down my face. Never present in time or space. A waterfall of anxiety filled my soul. Always alone never whole. Then in a thought; an instant in time. You showed me within in me all is divine. A pool of calm is all I perceive. The gift of your coaching has set me free.

    Dawn D - Leadership and Business Coach

  • Hi Kirstien, just wanted to update you, Am feeling really positive, have past the halfway mark with my weight loss journey, astoundingly .... have just started dating really sweet guy. Work remains key for me though still finding ways to be more organised lol. Feel blessed to have such lovely true friends in and outside work, am enjoying my family more. I will never be able to thank you enough for travelling alongside/with me on my journey of discovery and enabling me to be open to new horizons. Will remain eternally grateful. The irony of all I have written, to how I felt when I first met you, does not escape me; but I also now am able to be proud to say these things about myself.

    Janice C, Social Worker

  • We came to Kirstien at a difficult point in our marriage, which stemmed from some relationship issues that seemed to be spiralling out of control. There was a real possibility that our marriage might not survive long term. Kirstien’s calm and professional advice taught us about the part that our state of mind plays in the way we interact, and how we could avoid letting certain unresolved issues become the sole agenda for the marriage. Her guidance helped us to see our problems as modest and temporary in the context of our wider lives, and has undoubtedly strengthened our relationship.

  • Kirstien has also encouraged me to develop personally and professionally through her individuality tailored life coaching, which has been invaluable for my growth as a young adult. I could not recommend and praise Kirstien enough for her empathy, knowledge and guidance.

  • It's no exaggeration to say that working with Kirstien has been life changing. The world felt like it was completely on my shoulders and I didn't know how to cope with the most basic of tasks, even those that I'd previously enjoyed. A combination of bereavements, longstanding family issues and my own low self-worth had seen me in a dark place. But from the second I sought help, Kirstien was non judgmental, understanding and took everything at the pace I needed to go. Sessions went from unloading of problems and verbalising things I'd never been able to before, to learning about how I could deal with and overcome the negative feelings. I am at a stage where without even realising it, I've been equipped with the tools to manage my problems.
