Services

At her Protea Hoogte practice, Retha Roux offers a comprehensive spectrum of services, each tailored to support clients’ mental health goals:

• Jungian Sandplay Therapy
  Utilizing a fully equipped sand tray and symbolic figures, Retha helps clients explore their inner world non-verbally. Consequently, individuals process trauma and unlock insights in a creative, low-pressure setting.

  She employs EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Tension Release Exercises (TRE) to support clients in resolving past trauma effectively. Furthermore, she integrates somatic awareness techniques to foster mind-body healing.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  Retha guides clients in identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviours. As a result, clients build practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

• Solution-Focused Therapy
  By focusing on strengths and resources, she empowers clients to develop actionable solutions for current challenges. Moreover, this brief, goal-oriented approach delivers quick wins for motivation.

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions
  Incorporating guided meditation, breathing exercises, and body scans, Retha enhances clients’ awareness and acceptance of their internal experiences. Thus, clients cultivate ongoing self-regulation skills.

• Group Workshops and Seminars
  She leads small-group sessions on stress management, emotional resilience, and communication skills. Additionally, these workshops foster peer support and shared learning.

Each service is delivered with a personalized care plan, ensuring interventions align with clients’ individual objectives. Consequently, clients remain actively engaged and motivated throughout their therapeutic journey.
