My name is Nechamah Drishner and I have trained as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor. My practice is associated with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP). I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Health Sciences and Social Services) in applied Psychology (UNISA), a Bachelor of Social Science Honours Psychology (UNISA) and a Bachelor of Social Science Honours Psychology Cum Laude SACAP (South African College of Applied Psychology). I have been counselling for Lifeline Johannesburg, a NPO (Non-profit Organization) for the past few years, as well as simultaneously counselling for the Vita Nova Counselling Centre in Pretoria, where I trained and interned. I have additionally trained in IFS (Internal Family Solutions), as well as DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), which works wonders with my teenage clients. I however use many psychological modalities within my scope of work.

​

My most useful learning experiences have been brought about through the roles of wife, mother (to three children), daughter, sister and friend. I am passionate about counselling in a non-judgmental, empathetic, warm and trusting environment, as through my own journey I have learnt the absolute importance of a truly genuine counselling sphere. My goal through counselling is to enable my clients to access their true selves and through awareness live congruent lifestyles. It is my passion and a privilege to walk a journey alongside my clients and facilitate a growth process, through the activation of their own toolboxes. My scope of counselling interest is vast, whereby I aspire to give my all to my clients, by providing a safe, secure space to unlock their innermost challenges and make positive life choices.
