I felt my issues were complex and overwhelming, however Jacintha walked me through the process with empathy, compassion and insight. She was the fourth therapist I tried so I know not everyone has the skill and warmth that she has.

Hi welcome to my page. I am a South African immigrant to the United Kingdom. I am residing in the United Kingdom. My experience in counselling, mental health and wellbeing practitioner spans over 20 years. I am a Christian and my faith is part of my identity. However I work with people from all faiths, spiritual backgrounds and those with no faith. I strongly believe that we are all on a journey towards living a balanced and beautiful life.
I have worked within areas of family therapy, couple counselling, anxiety, domestic abuse, trauma, abandonment, addictions, resilience, adapting to life changes, cultural issues, moving to a different country and adapting to a new culture, family interactions, family dynamics, change of work place, community changes ,faith, forgiveness, peace and self acceptance.
My approach is Person - Centered, I do not give you answers. We explore together while I facilitate what it is that you need to explore. I see myself as very privileged to walk alongside you on your journey towards better wellness .I also use a framework called QSL (Quantum Social Learning ),HEAL (Human Experience Augmenting Language) the founder is Dr Carlo Monsanto an amazing human being dedicating himself to educating communities in order to empower the communities to be well rounded, healthy, strong, nurtured and balanced individuals. This is an approach based on using body mapping, sensations and listening to your body and mind to equip the individual to self - exploration and self-healing and integrating past and or present trauma.
I hold Teaching (Primary) ,Sports(Basketball) , Post Graduate Diploma in Person - Centered Counselling. Certificate in the QSL Framework and Methodology(www.iolee.life) and Community leadership qualifications.
I have also completed many courses in Resilience, Forgiveness, Anger and Unforgiveness, Conflict Resolution, Mental Health, Mentoring and Coaching. Having been the client myself, I bring an authentic approach to my work and relationship in the therapy setting.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I felt my issues were complex and overwhelming, however Jacintha walked me through the process with empathy, compassion and insight. She was the fourth therapist I tried so I know not everyone has the skill and warmth that she has.
Jacintha is a welcome new person in my life. We hit the ground running a some really complex issue but she has given perspective and support which is much appreciated. I’m sure I will see light at the end of this tunnel.
I could not recommend Jacintha enough. She's caring and empathetic. The way she listens and engages I did not experience with other therapists. Her friendly manner and ease to converse seems to hide the vast experience she has, but you can sense in every suggestion you receive. I'm truly grateful for her help and would recommend to anyone.
Jacintha is helping me with some serious things that happened in my past that I was only able to suppress and did not deal with. After I started with her, I can say that this is the first time in my life that I am starting to feel some relieve.
She listens intently and share ways and tools to deals with my daily challenges.
So far I only talked to Jacintha twice but I feel like we’ve known each other forever. That beautiful woman is an angel sent from heaven for everyone that gets to talk to her.!
I feel so grateful to have found a Christian therapist who is very skilled and spiritual mature. I look forward to our sessions weekly and always leave feeling lighter and well supported.
Jacintha really prepared and coached me for the change I wanted to see in myself, by giving me the tools I needed to make the steps i desired. It always felt so comforting having someone to talk to who was down to earth, open and would validate my perspective but also find ways to challenge my own preconceived ideas. I cannot recommend her enough.
Jacintha is very compassionate, caring and kind, she helped me overcome many of my fears and self-doubts and encouraged me to go on a journey of self-discovery.
