So something really bad has happened to you or a loved one…What Now?
What Now Counselling offers individual counselling sessions to assist in dealing with the crappy things that happen in life- that often leave you thinking “What Now?”
Life can be traumatic. Often people underestimate the effect trauma has on one’s ability to cope. Society has a limited understanding of what trauma is and often cannot understand why some people are traumatised by “seemingly small events”. For the person who is traumatised, these events are not small. In fact, they feel very big and important, and can have an influence on how that person reacts to situations going forward.
An idea of some of the counselling services I provide.
Sexuality & Gender
Our sexual, gender, relationship and erotic identities are important parts of our selves.
I provide a space to think about how narrow the socially expected identities can feel when we don’t quite fit the normative mold.
Parental
Parenting often brings up our own stuff, including what we thought we had dealt with already.
The parental counselling I offer supports gentle parenting and understanding what we can reasonably expect from children’s developmental stages.
Trauma
Life can be traumatic at times. Other people may not understand the effect of trauma on one’s coping abilities.
Society has a limited understanding of what trauma is, and often cannot understand why some people are traumatised by some events.
General
Counselling for a variety of situations where an objective outsider is beneficial for overcoming certain situations.
Including but not limited to life changes and transitions.
Tools for Having “The Talks” is a 4 day workshop series for parents, professionals, caregivers and teachers of young people. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Bodies, Gender, Puberty, Safe and Unsafe Touch, Non-sexual consent, Privacy, Families, Relationships, Sexuality, and sex.
The focus is on assisting you to feel more competent and confident when having these vital conversations with the young people in your care.
In the workshops I provide age appropriate content for the different topics we cover, as well as practical ways to bring these topics up, or answer questions related to them.
These workshops build on the communication style between parents/caregivers and their children. Helping to create a safe space for conversations to take place. These workshops not only provide age-appropriate information, but also assist with increasing your comfort and confidence in navigating these discussions with the children in your care.
Hi, my name is Casey and I’m a European Federation of Sexology Certified Psycho-Sexologist and a HPCSA Registered Counsellor (Registration Number PRC0020125).
I enjoy working with people who want to think about their parenting, sexuality, gender, relationship structures and/or erotic diversity. I provide counselling for adults on an individual basis, as well as sexuality education workshops for parents and professionals working with young people.
I have a Masters Degree in Psychology (Research) where my thesis looked at how 2014 matriculates evaluated the sex education received in school. I have been reading up on, and studying human sexuality since 2010. In 2023 I passed the European Society for Sexual Medicine exam to become certified as a Psycho-Sexologist.
I continue to learn and increase my skillset and knowledge based in both my counselling/therapeutic skills and different areas of interest.
I am part of monthly professional development spaces where we read up on, and discuss the following topics:
