How We Work:
- Once you are satisfied with what we offer you will click on the relevant link below requesting counselling, this form will go directly to counselling@grace.org.za.
- Your details will be added to our waiting list and we will assign counsellors depending on your availability and that of the counsellors.
- The more time slots you provide the easier it will be to assign counsellors.
- It is essential that you mark your sessions in your diary with a reminder so that you don't miss a session and/or inconvenience our counsellors. This applies to Online counselling too as our counsellors plan around the sessions.
Our counselling sessions are goal-oriented by completing tasks given to work through with various tools. You sessions will be one hour every week for a period of 5-8 weeks. Once a time slot has been agreed upon by all parties this will remain the same for the entire counselling journey, same day and time each week.
Donations for your sessions
We are a donations-based service to the community, so we recommend R100 or more per session, where people can afford, (consider that a Professional will charge you anything from R800-R1500 per session]. This should preferably be paid directly after each session either by CASH at the campus, EFT or Zapper. These funds go towards the upkeep of our sites, providing resources, and upskilling our counsellors.
Support Groups create a wonderful environment for people to journey with like-minded people. All Grace Counselling groups are led by trained volunteer lay counsellors.
Please Email counselling@grace.org.za to confirm group meetings over holidays and public holidays or if you have any queries about any of the groups.
