Welcome to Growing Small Counselling
At Growing Small Counselling, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive space where individuals can embark on their journey of personal growth and healing. We believe that healing emerges from the stories within us—those we carry, those we live, and those waiting to be written. Our counselling approach is deeply relational, grounded in respect, and always guided by your unique pace.

Beyond the ordinary
Healing here is not rushed; it is built slowly and nurtured intentionally, like the meaning of Makakhiwe—“one who builds.” We believe healing is co-created—rooted in presence, connection, and care.
Embodied Healing & Growth
Supporting gentle, meaningful change through somatic and relational practices.
Inclusion & Accessibility
Journeying alongside clients, co-creating healing at their pace. Affirming neurodivergent experiences and creating spaces where all bodies and identities are welcome.
Integrity & Compassion
Grounding our work in safety, evidence-based, trust, and empowerment. Practising with compassion, transparency, and deep respect.

We honour their deep and unbroken connection to land, waters, skies and culture, and we pay respect to Elders past and present.
