Samantha Boting
Registered Counsellor
I empower my clients to heal their wounds, uplift their spirits and embrace their full potential. I do this through compassionate understanding and support, and by providing practical guidance and tools to help you navigate life’s challenges and transcend all that’s holding you back.
My approach to counselling is goal-directed, holistic, and person-centred. I believe each individual is incredibly unique as is their life journey and this is to be affirmed and celebrated.
I work with my clients to understand what influences their entire way of being and, by promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance, I help them to discover any unconscious patterns and triggers that are holding them back. I have found time and time again that by reconnecting with their authentic selves and potential, individuals naturally heal and thrive. This inevitably leads to happier families and relationships and ultimately contributes to a happier and kinder world. If I can play even a small role in that, I will feel like my life has had real value.
Growing up in South Africa made me passionate about giving back to my community. I soon realised that the best way I could do this was by utilising my natural capacity to empathise and connect deeply with others. For the past 10 years, I have been involved in various NGOs and community programs working as an advocate, educator, and facilitator. My passion for psychology began during this time as I began to realise more and more the significant role that mental health can play in contributing to a healthier, happier and kinder society Having now experienced the counselling room as both a counsellor and a client, I have come to deeply understand and appreciate the sacred nature of this space and its power to transform lives.
