Meet Cassey van der Merwe

Hi, I’m Cassey, a student counsellor with a deep passion for supporting others as they reconnect with their authentic selves. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in safe, supportive spaces—where we feel seen, heard, and deeply accepted just as we are.

Grounded in my own spiritual path, I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore what it means to live with more authenticity, peace, and self-compassion. I bring a warm, encouraging presence, and I hold space with gentle patience, curiosity, and a strong commitment to non-judgment.

Before stepping into the world of counselling, I spent several years in the retail and film industries. These fast-paced environments taught me a lot about burnout, the cost of perfectionism, and the high expectations many of us carry. Today, I help individuals work through anxiety, low self-esteem, and recurring life patterns that keep them stuck, so they can move toward greater clarity, wholeness, and freedom.

If you’re ready to explore your inner world, shift old patterns, and return to the wisdom of your authentic design, I’d be honoured to walk with you. Together, we’ll cultivate self-compassion, uncover meaning, and create space for real, lasting transformation.

My Therapeutic Approach

My counselling approach is holistic, drawing on practices that engage both mind and body. I’m especially drawn to Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic (body-based) therapies that help us uncover and integrate the many layers of our inner experience. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) myself, I understand the deep emotional intensity that often comes with that trait, and I love working with other sensitive souls to help them feel empowered, grounded, and more at ease in the world.
