About me

My name is Boipelo Mbu. I am a dedicated counsellor with a Bachelor of Social Work and Honours in Psychology from the University of the Witwatersrand. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and families overcome life challenges and achieve their optimal wellbeing.

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was part of the essential healthcare workers, driving key mental health initiatives to support patients, families, and frontline workers. I provided trauma counselling, facilitated debriefing sessions for healthcare teams, and offered bereavement support to those impacted by the loss. This transformative experience deepened my commitment to promoting resilience, healing, and emotional well-being.

With a strong foundation in evidence-based approaches, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to empower clients with practical tools for personal growth and healing. These modalities enable me to tailor interventions to address diverse needs, whether it’s managing anxiety, processing trauma, or navigating major life transitions.

My expertise includes:

• Trauma and grief counselling.
• Depression and Anxiety Management.
• Stress Management.
• Coping with chronic illness and health-related challenges. 
• Relationship Issues. 
• Life Transitions.
• Parental guidance.
• Burnout and Workplace Stress 
• Building emotional resilience and personal growth. 

I am passionate about creating a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and achieve lasting change. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I am here to guide you with care, compassion, and proven techniques that truly work.
