Hey, I’m Cheyne

Bald man with red beard wearing a light-colored button-up shirt standing against a textured off-white wall.

I’m a Registered Counsellor based in Cape Town. I’m passionate about creating a safe, non-judgemental space where people can explore their experiences, gain insight, and develop tools for meaningful change.

I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth when supported with empathy, respect, and understanding. I aim to meet clients where they are, working together to navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, or life transitions.

My Approach

Collaborative

My approach to counselling is collaborative and person-centred — I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth when supported with empathy, respect, and understanding. I aim to meet clients where they are, working together to navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Evidence-Based

I draw on evidence-based approaches grounded in psychological research and practice, including elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and positive psychology. This means that the strategies we use in sessions are guided by methods shown to be effective in improving well-being and resilience.
