About Kirsty Keyzer

Embracing a Compassionate and Holistic Approach to Individual Counselling

It’s great to connect with you!

As an accredited social worker and counsellor, I understand that everyone is navigating their own unique journey.

I take a whole-person approach, helping you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. My focus is on creating a balanced, sustainable way of living so you can show up for yourself and others with clarity, confidence, and the right tools to manage challenges, triggers, and difficult thoughts.

Together, we’ll explore different perspectives and find an approach that truly works for you.

With me, you can expect a practical, direct, and down-to-earth approach that meets you exactly where you are.

Therapy isn’t just about the past—sometimes, you need support and practical strategies right now. While we may explore past experiences, my focus is also on equipping you with the tools to navigate challenges in the present. I’ll guide you as you build confidence, try out new ways of thinking and behaving, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

You may need help with:

Anxiety & Panic Disorders – Support for managing excessive worry, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
Depression & Mood Disorders – Helping individuals navigate feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low motivation.
Trauma & PTSD – Providing a safe space for processing past trauma, abuse, or distressing experiences.
Stress & Burnout – Strategies for managing work-related stress, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion.
Self-Esteem & Identity Issues – Helping individuals build confidence and a stronger sense of self.
Domestic & Family Violence – Providing trauma-informed support for survivors of abuse and violence.
Life Transitions & Adjustment Issues – Guidance through major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, or becoming a parent.
Suicidal Thoughts & Self-Harm – Providing crisis intervention and coping strategies for emotional distress.
Neurodivergence Support – Counselling for individuals with ASD, ADHD, or other neurodivergent experiences.

"Healing from trauma is like a bird learning to fly again—at first, the wings may tremble, but with time and trust, they find their strength and soar."
