Leoné Maree

Registered Counsellor

Hi !

Thank you for visiting my web page.

I am an Afrikaans & English speaking Registered Counsellor and certified Life Coach.
My goal is to help people become the best version of themselves and develop new healthy coping skills and self-insight to manage life's ups and downs.

My approach involves a team effort. You get to decide what we focus on and the pace we move at, while I will act as a mirror to show you your psychological blocks that are keeping you stuck. Ongoing progress in-between sessions will also be encouraged through homework tasks that I will provide you with. This way we keep the momentum going.

My counselling and coaching services are available face-to-face in Boksburg and online (virtually). Please reach out to me if you have any questions about me, my process and

Individual Counselling (Adults)

Individual counselling can be helpful for adults who are going through life-transitions, emotional, social or identity challenges. These sessions will aim to develop and improve your self-esteem, emotional-regulation, resilience, and social skills. Your personal values and goals will be the driver of the sessions to ensure you move closer to who you want to become.

Child & Teen Counselling (Ages 5 - 18)

Counselling for children and teens are available from the age of 5 years old, depending on the child's verbal skills. The counselling approach will involve play-based interventions and a supportive relationship which will allow your child/teen to openly express their experiences and challenges. This way emotional, social and behavioural challenges can be explored and improved on. I will also provide parental guidance for practical parenting style adjustments that suits your child's needs to strengthen your parent-child bond and your child's overall well-being.

Family Counselling / Parental Guidance

Family counselling offers a calm space for mediation between family members of any age. The aim will be to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, broadening empathy for one another, and exploring ways to navigate difficult life changes as a family. If parents still have very young children, parental guidance can be provided to the parents alone.

Scholastic & Developmental Assessments (Children ages 5+ years)

School-readiness and child development assessments are conducted with children in Primary School with school-related challenges, as well as social-emotional challenges. The aim if to identify cognitive and motor challenges that your child might be experiencing. Recommendations for study methods, classroom management for their teachers, and other assessment recommendations will be made after the assessments have been completed. If needed, a referral to an Educational Psychologist will be made.

Subject & Career Choice Assessments (High school learners)

Teen and Adult Career Counselling aims to help your teenager clarify their career direction through exploring their personality traits, cognitive strengths, values, and interests through assessments and questionnaires. These sessions will support informed decision-making for study pathways, job searches, and long-term career planning. Resources and recommendations will be provided at the end of the process.

Career Development Coaching (Adults)

Adults who are either figuring out what they want to do for work, or who are seasoned professionals in their field aiming to make a career change, will benefit from these sessions. We will explore your career goals and align them in a direction that aligns with your strengths, values and personality. Psychometric assessments might also be introduced if needed, but this is not always necessary.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Psychometric assessments range between R2600 - R4000 depending on the type and number of assessments administered. Payment plans can also be arranged.

Do you accept medical aid insurance?

Yes, I accept certain medical aids, such as Discovery and GEMS. Please note that in case of medical aids not processing claims in-full, clients must pay the difference personally.

Can you make diagnoses or prescribe medication?

No. I cannot diagnose any mental health disorders or prescribe any medicine to clients. I can conduct a screening test to determine the need for a referral to a Psychologist or Psychiatrist for diagnosis and prescriptions.
