About me

Natascha Smith

Hello, and welcome. My name is Natascha Smith, and I am a Registered Counsellor with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), PRC number: 0030350.
I have always been passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges. My academic journey began with a degree in Psychology at UNISA, followed by a Bpsych Honours degree in Psychology with specialisation in Trauma at the Midrand Graduate Institute.
My role as a counsellor is to provide a safe, supportive, non‑judgmental space where you can process your experiences, explore new perspectives, and develop healthier ways of coping. I believe healing happens in a compassionate environment where you are truly heard and understood.

“Counselling is a safe place to find light in difficult times, to rediscover strength, and to take the next step forward.” 🌿

  • Fantastic Counsellor

    Natascha is a fantastic counselor, she made me feel seen, and heard for the first time ever. Never judged me but helped me see my problems for what they are. All my coping skills I learnt from Natascha and I still use it 2 years later. I would definitely recommend her
