Hi! I'm

Carol Milwidsky

Life can be overwhelming at times – whether it’s anxiety, stress, grief, uncertainty, or simply feeling stuck or unmotivated.

I am a Registered Counsellor, and research psychologist based in Cape Town with experience in private practice, the public health system, and community projects.   I offer clients support, perspective, and practical tools to manage a variety of issues, promoting health and growth.

I provide in-person counselling and on-line sessions in a secure, confidential space.

How I Can Support You

Counselling is about more than solving problems, it's about reconnecting with yourself

I offer short- to medium-term therapy for a range of issues including

  • Stress & anxiety
  • Depression
  • Grief
  • Relationship Issues
  • Workplace Issues
  • Personal Development
  • General Guidance

 

Trauma counselling and critical incident response, helping clients recover from

  • Assaults, accidents, or home invasions
  • Work-related trauma or vicarious trauma (especially for frontline staff)

 

Each session is tailored to your needs, goals, and pace

Empowering

We’ll focus on your strengths and choices

Evidence-based

I use proven methods like CBT and SFBT

Practical

I want you to leave each session feeling lighter, clearer, and better equipped

Why I Do This Work

I believe in people’s ability to change, even during the hardest times

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, drawing on principles of

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clarify thoughts and behaviours

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for goal-setting and small, meaningful changes

A humanistic approach that treats you as the expert in your own life

My Style of Therapy

Therapy with me is honest, encouraging, and grounded in real-life strategies

 My counselling style is

  • Empowering-We’ll focus on your strengths and options

  • Evidence based-I use proven methods like CBT and SFBT
