Counselling for women who want to feel like themselves again.
Psychologically grounded support for relationships, overwhelm, grief, life transitions, and the quieter in-between seasons
In-person counselling in Rondebosch, Cape Town • Walk & Talk in Constantia • Online worldwide
Sometimes, from the outside, life looks as though it's working just fine. You're managing your responsibilities, showing up for the people around you and doing what needs to be done. Yet somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with yourself. You might find yourself going over things in your mind, questioning your decisions, repeating familiar patterns or struggling to work out what you really want.
Hi, I’m Sara Moosa, a Counsellor in Cape Town. I work with women who want to make sense of their experiences, understand themselves more deeply and feel more connected to who they are.
I see counselling as a collaborative process, where we can explore difficult things with honesty and compassion. My hope is to create a space where you feel able to speak openly, look more closely at what you may not have fully understood about yourself, and approach what you find without judgement.
Meet Sara
In our sessions, we talk about what's happening in your life and begin to explore what's beneath it. Sometimes, the things we struggle with in the present have roots in earlier experiences, relationships or beliefs we've absorbed along the way. Understanding where these patterns come from can help us see them differently and begin to loosen their hold on us.
But understanding something intellectually isn't always the same as feeling differently. At times, it helps to move beyond thinking things through and make space for what we're experiencing in the present. Where it feels helpful, I may introduce a guided breath-awareness practice, offering another way to step out of the constant activity of the mind and connect with what's happening in the moment.
The work we do together
The work behind the work
My work draws on my academic training in psychology, counselling qualifications, breathwork training and experience across different disciplines. I hold an Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Toronto (2004) and an Advanced Certificate in Counselling and Communication from SACAP which included supervised counselling at an NGO in Kuils River. I also hold an Advanced Breathwork Practitioner Certification from Breathwork Africa, recognised by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GPBA).
My working life has taken me through different worlds, from design and art direction at magazine publishers and design studios in Toronto and Cape Town to teaching meditation at the historic Ironworks in Woodstock.
That creative thread continues today through the planners and journals I design and produce in Cape Town, alongside my work teaching meditation and breathwork and facilitating mindful journaling experiences for CEOs and corporate clients.
