Meet your Counsellor
Arno Potgieter
Specialist Wellness Counsellor | ASCHP Registered
Â
Hi, I’m Arno.
​
My journey into counselling grew from a lifelong fascination with human nature and a genuine desire to understand and support people through the complexities of life.
​
Through my own personal experiences, studies in Psychology and professional counselling training, I have come to understand that we often carry far more beneath the surface than others can see. Sometimes, simply having a safe space to speak honestly, feel heard and begin making sense of what we are carrying can be incredibly meaningful.
​
As a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals navigating emotional difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and the journey of discovering or rediscovering themselves.
​
My approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, with compassion, authenticity and respect at its heart. I do not believe my role is to tell you how your story should unfold. Instead, I aim to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you explore your experiences, recognise your strengths and consider where you would like to go next.
​
Above all, I believe that every person’s story deserves to be heard without judgement.
​
You don’t have to carry everything alone.
