• Bereavement and grief

• Depression and anxiety management

• Trauma debriefing

• HIV/AIDS-related counselling

• Personal growth and development, focusing on childhood experiences that may negatively affect current behaviour

Each individual therapy session typically lasts for an hour, allowing for in-depth exploration of the client’s concerns and effective problem-solving. Shenila tailors the sessions to suit the unique needs and goals of each client.

Relationship Therapy / Couple Counselling

For those seeking support with their relationships, Shenila offers relationship therapy and couple counselling. The sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, with the option for longer sessions if required. Relationship therapy can address various issues, from communication breakdowns to more complex relationship challenges.

In addition to relationship therapy, Shenila also provides pre-marital counselling, designed to strengthen relationships and ensure couples are well-prepared for marriage. She incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy in her sessions to help couples deepen their emotional connection and improve their communication.

Online Counselling

Understanding that life can be busy and unpredictable, Shenila offers online counselling services through platforms such as Skype and Zoom. Online counselling provides the flexibility for individuals who cannot attend face-to-face sessions, whether due to geographical constraints, time limitations, or personal preferences. These online sessions provide the same level of support and care as in-person sessions.

Electronic Couple Workshop

For couples who struggle to synchronise their schedules for face-to-face therapy, Shenila has developed an innovative electronic couple workshop. This workshop offers practical exercises that couples can complete from the comfort of their own home, aiming to boost their relationship and enhance their communication skills. The workshop is ideal for couples looking to improve their relationship, even if they are not currently experiencing distress. It can also be used as a supplement to in-person therapy sessions.
