Integrated Counselling Big Bay offers a supportive and solution-focused space where individuals can face challenges and improve their well-being.
The practice uses a client-centred approach that puts your needs first. It creates a safe and calm space where you can speak freely. You feel heard and respected at all times. In addition, the counsellor listens without judgment and shows real care. This helps you feel more at ease as you share your thoughts.
At the same time, the process focuses on building hope. It also helps you make better life choices. As a result, you can improve your personal life, work life, and relationships.
The counselling style combines person-centred care with simple cognitive behavioural techniques. This means the counsellor helps you understand your thoughts and feelings clearly. Then, you work together to change negative thinking patterns.
Because of this, you can manage harmful beliefs and thoughts more easily. You also learn new ways to handle problems. Step by step, you move closer to your goals. The focus stays on your current challenges and your desired outcomes.
The practice offers a wide range of counselling services. These services support different needs and life situations.
Services include:
Individual counselling
Couples and relationship difficulties
Marriage counselling
Bereavement and grief counselling
Self-confidence issues
Support for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse
Trauma debriefing
Suicide prevention
Management of depression and anxiety
Stress management
Each service aims to guide you through difficult moments while helping you grow stronger.
Orette King leads the practice as a qualified counsellor. She trained at SACAP (South African College of Applied Psychology). In addition, she gained practical experience during her internship at Hope House Counselling Centre.

Integrated Counselling operates in the Big Bay area in Table View. The practice offers sessions in both English and Afrikaans. Each session lasts 60 minutes, which gives enough time to explore your concerns properly.
Sessions run between 9am and 5pm. However, the practice also offers affordable after-hours sessions. This allows more privacy and convenience for clients.
The fee structure gets discussed during the first consultation. This ensures clarity and comfort before you begin your counselling journey.
