Kelly Jacobs, BPsych

I am a Registered Counsellor, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA: PRC 0031860). I graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych) from Midrand Graduate Institute in 2016 and completed my internship at multiple organisations across Cape Town. In my psychology career, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and settings, which prepared me to work with people from different walks of life. I have therapeutic experience working in correctional services, a school, a child and youth care centre (CYCC), and various NGO’s. I started my journey in private practice in 2020. My approach to therapeutic care starts with building an authentic and trusting relationship between myself and my clients. I understand the courage it takes to ask for help and honour my client’s trust in me to be that helper. I have based my practice around the values of compassion, self-acceptance and empowerment. I want every person that walks through my door to feel worthy, valued and safe enough to explore the areas of their lives, that is not working in their best interests, and invite in better ways of living. I offer one-on-one therapy sessions to help facilitate the psychosocial healing process within a caring and safe space. To accomplish meaningful change, I take a collaborative approach, working with you to discover strengths and find healthy ways of coping with life’s challenges and adventures. Whether it’s remnants of trauma holding you back, episodes of depression, anxiety, or more, I am here to help you along your process of healing and stepping into the fullness of life you deserve.
