Marco

I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor registered at the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP). I completed my BA degree in Behavioural Sciences with Psychology and Labour Relations Management in 2021 at the North-West University (NWU) in Potchefstroom, South Africa. I completed my BA Honours Degree in Psychology in 2022 at the IIE Varsity College, Pretoria South Africa. My skills include assertive communication, empathy, group work, good listening skills and relationship building. I have improved my counselling skills further by enrolling at Humanitas for a Counselling Course where I completed 220 hours of counselling under supervision in 2023. During 2023 I volunteered at Victory House which is a halfway house for recovering addicts, providing free online counselling at Vita Nova and volunteering at Echo Youth which is a home for troubled teenagers. I am currently an independent counsellor for Company Wellness Solutions providing telephonic, virtual and face to face counselling sessions. I am a good team-worker, I am accommodating, yet I am assertive and have good boundaries. My friends and colleagues experience me as being emotionally intelligent and empathic. I am convinced that I will contribute to mental health, even if my contribution is small considering the global need. I look forward to learning more about the human psyche.
