About Me

Jessica Smit 
Registered Counsellor based in Paarl
 

I am a Registered Counsellor based in Paarl and offer both in-person and online counselling services. I specialise in the areas of trauma, abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, career counselling, personal & emotional development (including self-esteem) and coping with daily-life obstacles. I am deeply passionate about the work I do. For me, counselling is not just a profession but a calling. I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients on their journeys, creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where they can freely share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
 
I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with various learning difficulties as well as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
​
My approach is integrative, which means that I draw from various approaches and interventions and tailor them in a way that best suits each individual. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space which allows for clients to freely express their thoughts, opinions, feelings and experiences.
