Meet Brigitte
Welcome! I'm Brigitte, a dedicated mediator and counsellor with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's complexities. I firmly believe in putting children first, as they reflect our true selves. My journey into this profession is rooted in a diverse background that spans academia, corporate management, and personal resilience.
I hold a degree in Applied Social Sciences with a major in Psychology and Counselling, complemented by additional studies in communication skills and family law mediation. My career has been enriched by varied experiences in the hospitality and corporate industries, where I held numerous operations management and training roles. I found great energy and excitement in training groups and yielding positive results. As a subject matter expert, I created and presented two courses for the University of Cape Town through 2U/GetSmarter. I continue to develop self-guided workbooks and extension materials for adults and children to use either as part of the counselling process or privately at their own pace.
Beyond my professional achievements, I completed my work integrated hours, as a Psycho-Social Support Worker at the South African Depression and Anxiety Group. In this role, I provided critical support to individuals facing a wide range of challenges, from exam stress to suicidal crises. After my initial required hours, I decided to stay on and volunteered on a weekly basis at SADAG, this included adapting to virtually assisting during the pandemic. The entire experience honed my ability to listen empathetically and provide meaningful assistance in times of need.
On a personal note, I am a proud mother of four boys, blending two biological children from my first marriage and two beloved stepchildren. I have experienced the trials of separation and divorce, and I navigate the dynamics of joint parenting and full-time step-parenting with love and dedication. My life has also been marked by near-death experiences and the daily management of chronic pain and a disease with few answers, which have taught me resilience and the importance of never giving up.
I believe in continuous learning and personal growth, striving to do it all and have it all, while being fully accepting of my own flaws. My multifaceted background, combined with my personal experiences and professional expertise, enables me to connect deeply with those I counsel and mediate. I'm here to support you through your challenges with empathy, understanding, and a wealth of experience.
