Jooste Marianna Psychologist Bloubergstrand

Jooste Marianna – Counselling Psychologist in Bloubergstrand

A Personal Approach to Psychological Well-being

At my practice in Bloubergstrand, I offer compassionate, professional counselling tailored to each individual’s unique needs. As a Counselling Psychologist, I integrate scientific therapeutic methods with a holistic mind-body-emotion-spirit approach to help clients unlock their potential, achieve personal growth, and find inner balance.

My journey into psychology began with self-discovery and personal transformation. I experienced firsthand the profound effects of hypnotherapy in resolving deep-seated emotional challenges. This experience inspired me to master the art of hypnotherapy and utilise it as a powerful tool to guide others in overcoming limiting beliefs, improving self-acceptance, and accessing their inner wisdom.

I believe that through the right therapeutic approach, healing and personal growth are possible for anyone. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties, I am here to provide the support and guidance you need.

Therapeutic Approaches & Techniques

I work from an eclectic perspective, which means I customise therapy based on each client’s unique needs. During the first session, we will determine the best therapeutic approach, target areas for treatment, and discuss the expected number of sessions.

The techniques I use include:

• Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy
• Ego State Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Breath Work
• Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) & Trauma Debriefing
• Assertiveness Training
• Inner Child Work
• Shadow Work

Each method is carefully selected to help you process emotions, reshape thought patterns, and develop healthier behaviours.
