Claudette Pretorius

Claudette Pretorius

MA Counselling Psychology

Cape Town, Western Cape

I understand that it's not always easy to reach out and ask for help when you're going through a tough time. It takes a great deal of courage. As therapist, I take a non-judgemental, empathetic approach to ensure that my clients feel heard and understood. Together we will use the therapeutic relationship to work through the difficulties you are currently experiencing. I have worked in various therapeutic settings including university campuses and private practice with men and women from various backgrounds, facing different challenges and difficulties.  I use an eclectic approach to ensure I meet the unique needs of each individual and we will work together to set goals in order to meet your needs whilst you are in this space. I look forward to talking with you more and taking the therapeutic journey together.

Frequently asked questions

Use the search box at the top of this page to narrow down to your city or zip code, then choose the kind of support you need - therapists, treatment centers, housing assistance, food pantries or faith-based services. Every listing links through to contact details and directions.

It varies by listing. Food pantries, many housing programs and faith-based services are typically free, while therapists and treatment centers usually charge or bill insurance. Check the individual listing and contact the provider directly to confirm.

No. The providers and organizations listed here are independent of 7 Cups - we do not employ them and cannot vouch for them. What 7 Cups does offer directly is free emotional support from trained volunteer listeners, and online therapy with licensed professionals.

If you are in immediate danger, call 988 in the US or go to your nearest emergency room. For someone to talk to straight away, you can chat with a trained volunteer listener at any hour, free.
