WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Sihle

My sessions with Marlene were very impactful whereby I unpacked a lot during our session, one notable change is my mindset, I am a lot more kind to myself and trust my decision making a whole lot more.

Marlene made a world of a difference to me and I would recommend anybody who would need her services.

Tiffany

I began seeing Ms. Wilson when I was just 14 years old a time when I was reluctant, guarded and firmly against the idea of therapy. What I didn’t know then was that meeting her would become one of the most transformative turning points in my life.

From our very first sessions, Ms. Wilson met me with unwavering patience, compassion and genuine care. She never rushed my process or tried to force change. Instead, she held space for me creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allowed me to slowly open up, trust and begin healing. Her calm presence and steady support helped me navigate some of the most difficult and uncertain years of my life.

Over the past 12 years, Ms. Wilson has been more than a therapist she has been a guide, a mirror and at times, a lifeline. Through every challenge, she has helped me find clarity, resilience and strength within myself. Her professionalism is matched only by her empathy and her deep commitment to the well-being of those she serves.

Thanks to Ms. Wilson’s guidance, I have grown into a person I am proud of emotionally aware, self-assured and capable of facing life’s complexities with courage. The tools she’s given me and the lessons I’ve learned in our work together, have not only shaped the person I am today but will continue to support me throughout my life.

It is rare to encounter someone with the insight, skill and heart that Ms. Wilson brings to her practice. I will forever be grateful for her presence in my life and I hope this letter conveys just a fraction of the impact she has made.

I know you only asked for one paragraph and I can’t stop at only one. She has done a lot for me and she does a lot for me. As old as I am, I still believe in seeking therapy as often as I can to help guide me.

I have seen many therapists in my short-lived life and therapy isn’t just walking into a room and speaking your heart out, it’s about more than just that and Marlene brings the missing piece.

Wiedaad

A word to describe Marlene would be dignity. Her approach is very direct and forces you to look at things with a truthful eye - in a good way.

Coming from a background that does not believe in therapy, it was a good experience to actually sit and speak about the science behind why your body goes through trauma, it is something that makes more sense to me and she relayed it in a beautiful way. Thinking back, I would like to mention again, that she didn't sugarcoat things, which was eye opening for me.

Usually the sessions consist of validation-which Marlene did include, but she also helped me shift my mindset from victim to victor. My brother also had an incident within this year and she did not hesitate to help him as well. It was very generous and I genuinely appreciate the impact she made in my life.

Josh

My sessions with Marlene were both eye-opening but also revolutionary.  And I specifically chose these words as they best describe the kind of impact she has had on my life. I originally came to Marlene with personal struggles such as low self-esteem, confidence and lack of a sense of self.

Marlene through her practice and care has played a pivotal role in me finding my voice. I have learnt to not just occupy spaces but to own them. Being in her counsel has felt like, for a lack of a better word, magical.

 Anam

I met Marlene back in 2014 and I was doing Grade 11 gearing up for my matric year. During that time, I was facing a lot of challenges academically and mostly personally. I had a very estrange relationship with my mother and that took a toll on me during my matric year.

Through her sessions every Saturday I would be so happy and grateful to be seeing Marlene. She’s not only a therapist/counsellor; she’s more like a mom to me. She’s provided me an ear and guided me through life and how to navigate my emotions and be able to express them without making someone feel small or anything.

I am a man today emotionally because of Marlene’s teachings and her ways. She has shaped me to be a better person and be able to coexist and be aware of my surrounding.

Vincent

I will highly recommend Marlene as a life coach/counsellor. She brings a personal yet highly professional touch to her psychological services.

Marlene is a good listener. Her listening skills provide the gateway for further human interaction.

Marlene empathises well and she is very understanding and thorough.

I've benefited from her counselling.

Bongisa

Speak to Marlene and you won’t have any regrets.

Sessions I’ve had with her made me feel like I am speaking to a friend because she understood and listens very well.  She has taught me a lot of things that I have also implemented in my lifestyle and she has also equipped me with reading material to help me understand and get options for what suits me best.

I highly recommend her❤️💋

Moeghamad

I was a student at Life Choices programme and I can say that Marlene did have an effect on me.

Her counselling made me look at my life problems through a different perspective. I had many sessions with her and after each session I would always leave the room feeling less anxious, angry, sad and upset at whatever I was going through at the time.

She definitely is very quirky but that's something I love about her. I feel I've become more equipped to handle life as it comes and goes and all the things sad or happy it has to offer. I'm truly grateful for her help and hope she knows she's made a massive impact on my life.

Forever grateful.

Unakho

My session with Marlene was great and effective I would rate it 10/10; she was attentive and supportive. She’s very kind and showed that she’s eager to help me. After my sessions with her I felt really happy and liberated I would absolutely recommend her to the next person.

I’m grateful to Life Choices and Marlene for turning my world around and helping me to become a better version of myself. Thank you

Zainab

Meeting and being coached and mentored by Marlene, over the years, has been life changing. She has helped me tremendously, in overcoming traumatic experiences of the past, forgiveness of myself and others and assisting me to move forward in an emotionally healthy way. Her non-judgemental approach, patience in listening and offering support is unmatched. I feel so grateful and blessed to have someone like her in my life.

Anonymous

I attended personal counselling for about one year and it had a deep and positive impact on my life. From the beginning, she made me feel safe, understood and respected. She was not only professional, but also truly caring and she always checked in with me and stayed updated, even outside of sessions, which showed that this work was personal to her. She was very culturally sensitive and made the effort to understand my experiences, even though we come from different cultures and some of the things I face are not common in her own culture. I felt genuinely supported throughout the program and I am very grateful for her guidance, care and commitment.

Devon

During my time at Life Choices and the sessions that I had with Marlene, it changed the way I thought and many of those lessons she gave during my sessions, I still apply today.

Marlene helped me to open up to suppressed emotions and feeling that because I'm a man, I've buried. Since those sessions, many ghosts I've ran from, I overcame and many can testify that I was a different person since then and even now, those lessons are relevant and I treasure them, as it was the first time I could speak and felt heard without judgment.

I appreciate what she did and how she assisted me to open up and acknowledge certain things and how to differentiate emotions and how to deal with it.

Dean

Marlene’s sessions have been invaluable to my personal development: so much so, that I have recommended her to several close friends as well. The space created, especially in person, is very homely and comforting, allowing for an expression that leads to meaningful development. From navigating personal issues, to being a soundboard for professional development, to generally being a good human being, there is no higher praise I could offer - this is evidenced by our longstanding relationship.

The approach has non-traditional aspects but I find that it stretches the mind and forces you to engage with the more challenging topics: in the same way that 6+3 = 9 but so is 7+2; the point being that there is more than one way to do something. I’m deeply appreciative of the time I’m afforded - that is unique and I would not trade it for anything.

She is and has been, wonderful to me and I’m grateful our paths crossed when they did.

Keshia

To Marlene, thank you for creating a safe space where I felt heard, understood and supported. Your guidance helped me gain strength and confidence during times when I needed it most, I felt so comfortable with sharing my story with you. The lessons and tools you shared with me will stay with me as I continue to grow personally and emotionally.

From me Keshia thank you for the knowledge and opportunities you provide. Your commitment to empowering individuals and helping them discover their potential is truly inspiring. I am grateful to have been part of your sessions and positive change.

You have made a difference in my life and I am deeply thankful for everything you do.

With heartfelt appreciation.

Sinovuyo

My counselling sessions with Marlene were incredibly valuable and impactful. She created a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where I felt truly heard and understood. Through her guidance, I was able to better understand my challenges, develop healthier coping strategies and build greater emotional resilience. The sessions helped me gain clarity, confidence and practical tools that have positively influenced my personal growth and overall wellbeing.

I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone seeking compassionate, insightful and effective counselling support.

Brandon

My sessions with Marlene genuinely broadened my perspective and helped shape my philosophies and values as a young man. Through these sessions, I learned a great deal – especially about self-observation and how the way I speak to myself directly influences my actions, confidence and growth.

Over time, I came to a clear realization: my internal dialogue was one of the key factors holding me back. Recognizing this shifted me into becoming a far more intentional and self-aware observer of my thoughts and behaviour. Every session offered something valuable to take away and while I can’t speak for others at the academy, I approached each session with seriousness and commitment.

The impact on me was undeniably positive. My mindset and mental clarity improved significantly, which pushed me forward in tangible ways. Without boasting, I can confidently say that I am now building an AI research company with a team of six, while still contributing to my full-time role as a software engineer and supporting my other business ventures that have gained traction within their first quarter.

Marlene had–and continues to have–a genuine impact on my journey. I remain a student of learning as I grow in my career and businesses and I am deeply appreciative of the guidance and insight gained from those sessions.

Bongisa

Speak to Marlene and you won’t have any regrets.

Sessions I’ve had with her made me feel like I am speaking to a friend because she understood and listens very well.  She has taught me a lot of things that I have also implemented in my lifestyle and she has also equipped me with reading material to help me understand and get options for what suits me best.

I highly recommend her❤️💋

Kaylem-Lee

The sessions I had with Marlene opened my eyes to many things. Things I did not know about myself and how to deal with certain things in my everyday life. She listens attentively and recommends things for you to try in that specific situation. She's very knowledgeable about many things and she can give advice on almost anything. I remember one specific session we had, where she asked me to think of my closest friend and told me to write down 5 things he does that I like and 5 things he does that I dislike. Once done she then took my answers for each and asked me to explain them to her in more detail. Once that exercise was finished, she asked me to look inward and those were my characteristics.

Moral of the story, birds of a feather flock together. And that's something I'll never forget. I'd recommend a session with Marlene to anyone who is going through a tough time, looking to learn more about themselves or who would just like some advice in general.

Fatima

Marlene has been a deeply supportive and compassionate presence and her counselling has helped me navigate challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Through her guidance, I’ve been able to build resilience, gain healthier perspectives and make positive changes in my life.

She creates a safe, non-judgemental space that makes it easier to reflect honestly and grow and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful support and wellbeing.

Luphumlo

My name is Luphumlo and meeting Marlene was like finding a key that fits into every lock in life. She taught me how to be free and that I was the one who could set myself free from myself. She taught me forgiveness of self then forgiveness for others.

Marlene is a blessing to the world. I know this is just words but her teachings aren't like school where you learn them just to pass a subject but teachings that you could carry on with for the rest of your life and also pass it on to your kids. I rather would not go to my anniversary than to miss 5min of hearing the gracious words of Marlene.

Tamsyn

I am deeply grateful to Marlene for the counselling support she offered me during my time at Life Choices. When I started at Life Choices, I was going through a very difficult period because I had just experienced the loss of my dad.

Marlene helped me process and work through that loss in a way that allowed me to truly heal. Beyond that, she supported me in unpacking other fears and emotional blocks that I had been carrying with me for many years.

Her support had a direct impact on how I showed up at Life Choices. Through our sessions, I gained confidence and began to believe in myself and my abilities. That shift helped me perform well during the programme and approach opportunities with a stronger sense of self-belief. As a result, I was able to secure an internship, which had a profoundly positive impact on my life. I went on to work at the company for four years before moving on and I genuinely believe I would not have performed at the level I did without the confidence and inner strength Marlene helped me recognise within myself.

What meant a great deal to me is that Marlene continued to support me even after I left Life Choices. During moments when I was struggling, she was always open to meeting with me and consistently provided a safe, supportive space. She shared tools and resources that I still refer to today, even years later.

I felt that I could genuinely open up to Marlene and address things I had struggled with for a long time. She is incredibly warm, welcoming and kind. She is non-judgmental and very easy to talk to. It was clear to me that she is deeply passionate about her work and truly wants to help people.

Marlene was incredibly valuable to me and I still think about her, speak about her and appreciate the support she offered during a time when I needed it most. I believe Marlene is invaluable to Life Choices and anyone would benefit from her expertise, skills, insight and wisdom.

Fayrouz

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the support and guidance she has provided me. Working with Marlene has been a truly positive and transformative experience. Through her coaching and counselling, she has helped me gain a deeper understanding of how my childhood experiences have shaped my thoughts, behaviours and relationships.

Marlene created a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space that allowed me to openly explore personal challenges, including difficulties in my relationships with my mother, my husband and my children. Her approach is thoughtful, insightful and highly effective. The tools and strategies she shared have been invaluable in helping me navigate these challenges with greater clarity, confidence and emotional awareness.

Most importantly, Marlene has played a significant role in helping me shift my mindset toward a more positive, balanced and empowered outlook on life. Her professionalism, empathy and expertise make her an exceptional coach and I am truly grateful for the impact she has had on my personal growth and well-being.

Tashreeq

My session with Marlene was deeply meaningful and empowering for me. From the very beginning, I felt completely seen, heard and supported in a safe and compassionate space. Marlene’s gentle presence and thoughtful questions helped me open up and reflect on things I had been carrying for a long time. She helped me gain clarity on areas of my life where I felt stuck, uncertain and overwhelmed and guided me toward understanding myself with more kindness and confidence. The session gave me practical tools, but more importantly, it shifted the way I see myself and my situation. I walked away feeling lighter, emotionally grounded and hopeful, with a renewed sense of direction and self-belief.

I’m truly grateful for Marlene’s guidance and the meaningful impact this session had on me.

Siliziwe

During my time in the Life Choices programme, my counselling sessions with Marlene were genuinely helpful. She created a safe, respectful space where I could speak openly, reflect on challenges I was facing and better understand myself and my responses to difficult situations.

Her approach encouraged practical self-awareness and resilience, which had a positive impact on how I handled stress and decision-making during and after the programme.

I would recommend her to other young people who need grounded, supportive guidance.

Mbalentle

Marlene has been great help to my mental health and health overall. When I opened up about my problems to her, I didn't expect her to understand because well we are from 2 different backgrounds and also let's say I was only opening up just to get it over and done with. From the moment I stepped into her little office and sat in that chair I was offered a fleece and sat comfortably.  I found myself talking about things I never knew bothered me. The mediation we did and how everything I had related to one another made so much sense.

She gave me so much hope and one of the lessons I have learnt is that through changing myself I am able to change everyone around me.

Kershell

Marlene has played a huge part of my life since high school .

She has impacted my life in such an incredible way.

Her lessons are now part of my daily life, they have shaped my life in the most incredible way, she brought light into my life.

She helped me to get out of a pit  hole of depression few years ago and suicidal thoughts in result to that I’ve now achieved one my greatest goals and flourishing in my career with a strong mental and emotional wellbeing.

I’ve been carrying along all the teachings and lessons from all our sessions. I’ve grown as an individual, emotionally and mentally .

I’ve achieved some incredible goals and I smile and think to myself that it was through your teachings and your time.

I’m beyond grateful.

Noni

Although I attended only two counselling sessions with Marlene, I found them to be meaningful and supportive. She created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up and she listened with genuine care and understanding. Even in a short time the sessions helped me reflect more clearly on my situation and feel more hopeful about handling challenges going forward.

I would recommend Marlene to anyone seeking compassionate and professional support.

McDonald

I am truly great for your life, your ears and your Heart.

The wonderful lessons you have imparted have made me a better person.

This has easily been the Best Year of My life, because I have LEARNED.

I have learned a lot about myself; I have learned to find Peace in solitude and to protect that peace.

I appreciate you so much and I wish a Year of Grace, Mercy, Love, Good Health and Good Fortune ahead for you and all your loved ones.

Anelisiwe

I've had a few sessions with Marlene she has been a tremendous help at a very difficult time of my life, I have learnt so many techniques as to how to navigate life, how to deal with the past and how to move forward, she has taught or taken me through a journey of unlearning and rediscovering my purpose in life and I can safely say I have found peace and healing through her teachings.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.

Lilian

I can say a huge thank you to Marlene for being part of my journey.

When I visited Marlene, I was a broken woman with very little love for myself

Marlene patiently helped me to be the person I am today...enjoying life, taking care of myself, loving myself and 100% proud of how far I've come.

God placed Marlene on my path and I'm forever grateful that I've met her.

Lelethu 

I don't know where to start with Marlene. She is a beautiful inside and out human being, kind and amazing compassionate person ever. I knew that I was broken and hurt but when I met Marlene, I didn't know that I was that kinda broken. She made me realize a lot of things about myself that I thought they didn't matter. The fact that I talk about my trauma and write them down its another level. She made me feel and a lot of things myself that I matter and precious . I became a better person.

I thank God and Life Choices for bringing her to me. I'm really grateful for everything that she has done for me. I thought when you going to therapist or shrink you crazy or something is wrong with you but no it's nothing like that. I carry my pain and I know I'm strong and beautiful more than ever what ever happened to me happened for some reasons but it made me who I am today.

May Marlene have success and prosperity in her life and continue to have finer things in her life

John

I'd like to take the opportunity to provide feedback on Marlene's excellent work at Life Choices. She was an amazing spiritual guide as well as a psychological mentor who provided proper mental and spiritual grounding while we were doing our Full Stack Web Development course. Having that aspect included was a great help.

Her sessions were very insightful and helped me personally with things I struggled with from a young age. I am sure that many other students and alumni of Life Choices Academy would have the same sentiments and value her contributions to our education and psychological well-being.

Machai

Marlene helped me get through many issues during a very dark period in my life.

At the time I sat down with her, I had just lost my father and was struggling to cope.

Her words and her counselling approach helped me find the strength I didn't know I had; she truly helped me to focus, stay strong and navigate my grief.

I am so grateful for the impact she has had on my life and would highly recommend her to anyone facing their own challenges.

Amanda

Marlene was of great help to me. Even though the tome I spent with her was short, but the seeds she planted are forever. I have been able to gone on and look for tools to help myself in times when I hit rock bottom. She made me understand that I am not helpless. I am in control of how my life turns out. Nothing is happening outside of me. That was really empowering.

I really appreciate Marlene and I am glad I had the honour of meeting her in my life.

Waajida

My sessions with Marlene have always been so enlightening. Marlene is such a guiding light, always making sure you feel comfortable and safe. Her kindness is endless.

She is a true teacher. I leave her sessions feeling so powerful and positive. There are not enough words to highlight her compassion and conviction. I encourage all to have a session with her, its truly life changing.

Asandile

The sessions were really helpful to me, they have helped me understand that I am the one in the driving seat in my life, this helps me with accountability and have the courage to face my childhood trauma's. It's hard to go through your trauma alone but with Marlene, she made it easy for me to navigate and she made me realize that we always have a choice.

So now I find it easy to do stuff because I understand that it's my choice to show up or not. The session was an opportunity for me to look deep inside and see the things I was afraid of and Marlene was always there to help me navigate them.

Siphokuhle

Thank you for the eye-opening experience you’ve given me. Your guidance has truly shifted my worldview and the way I carry myself moving forward. It’s rare to encounter lessons that leave such a lasting mark and yours have done exactly that. I left the academy in the beginning of 2025; my biggest highlight was our last session that session made me believe in what I am capable of and taking my mental health into consideration. I’d recommend this opportunity for anyone close to me and beyond .

I believe it’s important to share words of appreciation while we can, so that we cherish both the good and the challenging moments without leaving room for “what could have been said.” This year has been a rollercoaster for me, but I’ve managed to walk through it with pride largely because of the significance of your lessons at Life Choices.

I may not yet be where I want to be, but thanks to your teaching, I can see the vision more clearly than ever.

Take care and know that your impact continues to ripple forward.

Luke

I would highly recommend and still do, to this day, the services of Marlene as a counsellor.

During some of the toughest years of my life she helped me to find meaningful purpose in the way I see myself and how I talk to myself.

She helped to realise that I’m the only person who has control over my destiny and the effort I put in is on myself.

I found healing in our sessions and I know she can add value to yours.

Nicole

During some of the most difficult years of my high school experience, Marlene provided unwavering support, compassion and guidance that truly made a difference in my life.

What stood out most was her consistent effort beyond our sessions, especially her thoughtful emails containing enneagram reflection exercises, motivational quotes and affirmations, which helped ground me during overwhelming moments. These tools reassured me to knowing that I was not alone and supported me in understanding and regulating my emotions.

Marlene's genuine care, patience and encouragement helped me develop resilience and healthier coping skills that I continue to carry with me today and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact she had during such a formative time in my life.

"All healing is self-healing" - Marlene Wilson

Sindiswa

Marlene helps me a lot I'm so grateful for this journey with her. Her sessions help me to find myself to understand myself to learn to say no and learn to forgive myself and love myself. I also learn that I'm enough I don't need anyone to be able to succeed in life

Thanks so much to Marlene for this wonderful opportunity looking forward to continue the journey with her.

Aysha

Marlene has been facilitating with me for the last 15years. She is a soft and gentle soul. She is very direct in how she sees things but steers you to see how you can reach your full potential. I have benefited from our sessions tremendously. I am not the same person I was 15 years ago. I have had both my daughters have sessions with Marlene and my eldest is continuing with her sessions this year.

Lameez

I had a few sessions with Marlene after my mom had passed away and I was not coping. Marlene helped me with my 'self-love' issues as well with coping with my dad passing in 2017 and then my mum passing away in 2020.

Because of the therapy she provided to me, I was able to slowly deal with my issues and also get off the antidepressant I had been prescribed.

Thank you again Marlene. I will always be grateful to you and your listening ear and time u provide me. May the Almighty continue to bless u and protect u.

Matthew

I met Marlene in a time where I was trying to figure out what kind of father I was going to be for my son. With just three sessions Marlene was able to help me with clear choices and a huge perspective shift which had a tremendous impact on me.

Sadé

Before working with Marlene, my mind felt overwhelmed and chaotic. I truly believed that was just how I was or how life was meant to be. From the very first session, her approach completely shifted my perspective. It was eye-opening to realize that healing is not an outside-in process, but an inside-out journey.

Marlene has played a huge role in my healing. She helped me learn how to set boundaries, say no, stand up for myself and be brave. Most importantly, she taught me that I am enough and that true love and validation come from within.

I would highly recommend Marlene — she is incredibly skilled at what she does and has made a profound impact on my life.

Ntsapo

I want to thank you for the sessions and times i spent with you. It has been great help and wisdom through the private sessions we spent together; I was able to take some of the wisdom and help through ways to know oneself better. Some of those ways I had to learn them the hard way and some I had to listen from one of your teaching and techniques, like the Enneagram. You also troughs ways to calm our nerves system whenever we get nervous in stressful situations or rush deadline, like the tapping etc.

All-in-all the session has been very helpful and good; I really appreciate it them enjoyed very much... I'd like to continue our session in 2026, I have so much to tell you about and what I've learn about myself and much more, I can surely recommend Marlene to anyone.

Indiphile

Marlene sessions and /or the knowledge she shared with us helped me in different aspects of my life. She really helped me view the world and life in a different lens. Till this day I have my set reminders "You are worthy you are enough" hourly. I hope she continues to share her wisdom with others as I know there are people just like me who need to hear it.

Daniel

My sessions with Marlene have helped me truly see myself and seize control of my life. For so long I felt like I had nothing and no power/control but with her help and insight I was able to take back everything I thought was gone. I struggled with self-confidence and speaking my needs, I always let myself suffer in silence and felt this pull to help others but never myself.

The few sessions with Marlene have given me a new sense of self, I am far more confident than I ever was, I am able to comfortably and confidently speak my needs without guilt or shame. I have learned that I cannot pour into anyone or anything until my own cup is filled, that I am important to myself and worthy and deserving of love and this life.

Veronique

I've known Marlene since I started as a trainee at Life Choices and into my transition as a Project Facilitator. To this day, I cannot find the words to say 'Thank you!'. The personal insights I've received, the wisdom and reality checks have kept me on a path I intend to continue on for the rest of my life.

I'd like her to know that she has helped correct the paths of so many young people and I hope they all pay that experience forward. Marlene, I wish you all the strength to carry on because what you do is VERY important work.

Rustin

I found Marlene’s counselling to be extremely helpful. Her approach really helped me find myself and gain clarity on who I am and who I want to be. I struggled a lot with confidence and through her support I experienced real healing and developed a stronger sense of accountability. Over time, my mindset shifted significantly and I became far more goal-focused. Marlene consistently created a safe space where I could honestly explore myself and see my potential, which made a meaningful difference in my personal growth.

Lisakhanya

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for Marline work . Her dedication, empathy and support meant so much to me . The 2 sessions I had with her were so wonderful to me and life changing . I thank you so much again Marlene you are loved.

Yibanam

Through our work together, I have felt genuinely heard, safe and understood. Your way of creating a calm, non-judgmental space has allowed me to open up more honestly, even about things I previously found difficult to express. I’ve noticed that the questions you ask and the way you guide our conversations have helped me reflect more deeply on my thoughts, emotions and patterns.

Over time, I’ve become more aware of myself and more confident in navigating my feelings and experiences. I feel more grounded, better able to process challenges and more trusting of my own voice. This has shown me that your counselling approach is not only supportive but also effective in helping me grow and heal at my own pace.

I wanted to share this with you because I believe feedback is important and I truly appreciate the care, intention and professionalism you bring into our sessions. Thank you for the support you’ve given me; it has made a meaningful difference in my journey. I'm still working on myself and if it was not for you and the effort you put into your work. I'm not sure where I would be, honestly. Thank you so much, Marlene. I appreciate you and I love you so much. You make the world a better place for me and other young people and me, whom you work with. For that, may God bless you.

Sarah

Marlene has helped me on so many occasions in my life - processing trauma that had kept me stuck, teaching me to see my repressed emotions, getting clearer on my goals and even practical steps I could take when the road ahead seemed fuzzy - all with a mixture of real talk, tenderness and humour. She accompanies one on an inward journey of self-discovery with her holistic techniques such as 'tapping' or meditation and always sends a useful report after a session with insightful resources to continue the self-work.

The work she does is invaluable and I look forward to more sessions with her in the future.

Fatima

Marlene assisted my son with his severe depression and anxiety about 4 years ago. From my perspective, she could unravel what was going on in his mind and helped him manage with his anxiety. My son had previously gone for 11 sessions professionally and he still had breakdowns.

Thankfully I was able to connect with Marlene. My son, Wasfi Abrahams, slowly became aware of how he was feeling and how to navigate those feelings through the therapy he was taught by Marlene. I am eternally grateful. 🙏

My son is still on medication, but his mindset is amazing, no anxiety attacks. He still uses the tools he was taught by Marlene to manage his anxiety.

Then me, the mom Fatima Abrahams, also felt the need for therapy. My sessions were imactful and hearing truths are sometimes harsh but necessary. I benefited greatly with her sessions, always feeling a sense of calm after and good night rest. Being taught the tools as well of EFT TAPPING has changed my life. Morning and evening. It has been beneficial for my body and having the book of Louise Hay just made my journey to change even easier.

I am still grateful we got to meet Marlene and will forever be grateful to her therapies and insight to life and how we should see ourselves in this crazy world we live in today.

Thank you, Marlene, 😊 you are an absolute Gem, your work will always be of benefit to others. May you always be blessed with good health.

Mischa

Since my first counselling session, I have experienced meaningful and lasting changes in my mindset and the way I navigate my life. The process has been both challenging and deeply rewarding, helping me develop greater self-awareness, emotional clarity and healthier ways of responding to life’s difficulties. Through consistent reflection and honest work, I have grown in resilience and intentionality and the impact of these sessions continues to influence my relationships, decisions and overall wellbeing in a very real and practical way.

 Abdullah

I’m extremely grateful for the couple of counselling sessions I’ve had with you. With your help I was able to work through some of my issues and ultimately grow into a better man.

Marlene is a wonderful counsellor and seemed very passionate and professional. Marlene definitely had a major impact on my mindset and how I navigate my day to day.

My experience with Marlene was awesome. In here sessions she taught me the importance of being in the present moment and the importance of hypnotherapy. I felt recharged and acknowledged during the sessions. There are so much themes such as acknowledgement of people who have childhood trauma, the importance of seeing myself as a diamond 💎 .

She unlocked how I viewed the world. Luckily, we share the same interests so the sessions were super good that I wish the sessions would continue forever. She only shared only the truth and the importance of the middle finger.

I am still visiting her pdf files in which she shared with me via emails. I am grateful that everything makes sense now. I wish Marlene all the best for the future and empower youth that are ready to transform and change the world.

Marlene showed genuine care and availability during a time when I was carrying a lot emotionally and needed support. Even with a full schedule, she made space for me to be heard and when I could not meet in person, she was flexible enough to support me via a WhatsApp call. Her empathy and presence helped me navigate a difficult period with greater clarity and strength.

I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, flexible and committed counselling support.

Buhle

My counselling sessions with Marlene were incredibly meaningful and impactful. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt truly heard, understood and supported. Having a professional listen to me and help me make sense of my emotions felt like a weight being lifted off my shoulders.

Through her guidance, I gained greater self-awareness, practical tools to manage my emotions and the confidence to navigate personal challenges with clarity and resilience. I am now on an ongoing journey of unbecoming what no longer serves me in order to become a better, healthier version of myself. I am deeply grateful for her support and would greatly recommend her to others.

My counselling sessions with Marlene were incredibly valuable and grounding. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt genuinely heard and supported, which made it easier to work through challenges with clarity and confidence. Her approach helped me better understand myself, build emotional resilience and develop practical tools I still use in my day-to-day life.

I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone seeking thoughtful, compassionate and effective counselling support.

Marlene provided compassionate counselling support to me and my children during a challenging period following divorce. She created a safe space for us to connect with our emotions and shared with  us  practical healing strategies to build  resilience and care, that we could practise individually and as a family. We are deeply grateful for her guidance and support.

Luzuko

As an employee of Life Choices, I have been receiving mental health support sessions from Marlene, particularly during periods when I felt stressed about meeting targets and delivering work.

Through her sessions, Marlene helped me gain a deeper understanding of who I am, how I show up in the workplace and how I engage with the world around me. This process enabled me to better understand my own behaviour and how others may perceive or respond to it.

The impact of these sessions has been extremely positive, both personally and professionally. As a result, I would highly recommend that others take advantage of these sessions, as they provide valuable support and insight that can greatly benefit one’s well-being and performance at work.

Yamkela

I am attending Marlene's sessions; I started attending sessions with her at the age 19/20 and that was 6/7 years ago. Our sessions are nothing but blessings, whenever I attend sessions with her, I always feel at ease and find the best comfort.

There was a time in life where everything felt like crawling for me and she was very patient and supporting and I will forever be grateful for that. Last year during and even after giving birth she has been my pillar of strength, the daily check-up and the assurance she is giving me is out of this world not forgetting her best hugs. I've been pushing and fighting hard when it comes to my club and she is the woman behind all of that.

I am Yamkela Nkinqa and I appreciate Marlene a lot, I love how she is always assuring me that I can do it even on my hardest times.

Working with you has helped me navigate many aspects of my life with greater clarity and compassion for myself. For a long time, as a disabled person, I often fell into a pattern of self-blame whenever things didn’t turn out the way I hoped. I internalised the belief that something was wrong with me, especially when it came to relationships and rejection, beliefs that were reinforced by things I had been told for most of my life.

One experience that stands out is a crush I had in high school. When those feelings were not returned, I blamed myself and my disability, believing it meant I was unlovable. At the time, I didn’t have the tools to separate rejection from self-worth.

When I moved to Cape Town and joined Life Choices, I met you during a period when I was struggling deeply, particularly with family issues and my relationship with myself. Although I thought I loved myself, I later realised that what I had wasn’t healthy. I experienced suicidal thoughts (which I never acted on), but they were constantly present in my mind.

Through our sessions, I have learned to love myself in a healthier, more grounded way. Our conversations are always meaningful and motivating. I’ve come to understand that your role is not to agree with me when I vent, but to guide me toward clarity and better choices and that has made a profound difference in my life. I now make decisions with a clearer, calmer mindset and no longer allow imposter syndrome to control me.

One moment that truly reflects this growth was our session before the holidays, when I spoke about how draining my job had become. You helped me see that despite the financial security; I was exhausted, unhappy and unwell. Your words, “Whatever you decide to do, make sure it’s what you need” stayed with me. I resigned just before Christmas with no plan B, but the sense of peace I felt afterward was unlike anything I’d experienced before.

Even now, back home in the Eastern Cape, I don’t regret that decision. I still don’t have a clear next step, but I no longer feel anxious about it. I trust that I will find my way, one way or another.

I am no longer suicidal. I am hopeful about this new year and I’ve learned that my happiness is my responsibility. As you often say, “You have a choice.” I am choosing myself, no longer handing that power over to others, whether family, friends, or circumstances. I am doing me, because at the end of the day, I am my most valuable possession.

Thank you for your guidance, honesty and support.

Zimkhitha

My sessions with Marlene have been deeply impactful in my life. Through our work together, she has helped me uncover the strength and capabilities within myself to overcome some of the hardest and deepest challenges I’ve faced. She has supported me through major milestones and turning points in my life and for that I am truly grateful.

What I appreciate most is her ability to help broaden and deepen my understanding of myself. Rather than offering only direct solutions tailored to immediate challenges, she has empowered me with insight and self-awareness that continue to guide my decision-making beyond our sessions. Her support has been instrumental in my transition into adulthood and in navigating its complexities and I am sincerely grateful for the lasting impact she has had on my personal growth.

Lindokuhle

Working with Marlene changed how I understand myself on a deep level. She created a space where I felt safe, seen and taken seriously, even when I struggled to find the right words. With patience and care, she helped me face patterns I had been carrying for years and guided me toward calmer, more intentional responses. I felt supported during difficult moments, challenged when needed and never judged. Over time, I noticed real emotional relief, stronger self-trust and healthier communication in my relationships. The growth feels meaningful and lasting and I leave each session feeling lighter, clearer and more grounded.

Maya

Thank you to Life Choices Academy for the opportunity that started my Salesforce journey, through which I was also fortunate enough to meet Marlene. Working with Marlene has been life changing for me. Through her guidance, I gained tools that every young adult needs to navigate life, especially during difficult seasons of self-doubt, unanswered questions and healing from past trauma. She helped me better understand myself, make healthier choices, stay grounded and grow in self-love. Her support played a major role in my personal growth and healing and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without her influence.

Marlene has an incredible ability to bring out the best in people and Life Choices Academy is truly fortunate to have such a remarkable gem.

Ghamzah

My counselling sessions with Marlene were incredibly valuable and grounding. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt genuinely heard and supported, which helped me gain clarity, build resilience and approach challenges with a healthier mindset. Her guidance was thoughtful and practical and I walked away from each session feeling more confident and empowered. I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone seeking compassionate and effective counselling support.

Tercia

I really enjoyed my sessions with Marlene; she is very smart and thoughtful. She helped open my eyes to different personalities and how to become like all of them instead of boxing yourself into one type. She taught us about generational trauma and how it passed down. I’ve seen this a lot in my family and it helps me approach issues with my family, myself or my partner very differently. We all have some trauma built in already it’s our job to grow moving forward.

I would definitely recommend her to others, because she’s also very kind and understands issues you bring up and where they come from. She also gives a bit of tough love in her sessions which I think we all need to wake up and realise our actions, emotions , reactions or just life are in our own hands.

I thank her for her time and patient with the students. My name is Tercia. I still carry many of her words and sessions with me and look at people and their emotions in a different way and she taught me I can’t pour from an empty cup so I’m learning to love and put myself first and attract the energy I want. You need to learn to forgive yourself and apologize and then move forward.

Alke

It remains hard to describe how strong Marlene's impact was. Not only does she provide realistic and healthy coping tools, she also never made me feel unjustified in any of my feelings. She assisted me in exploring deeper levels of my own being and adjusting to an incredibly life altering motto -> Let it be/Let it go.

I have become content to accept the mystery of life and its situations, accept my own role in my choices and their results, but also be kinder to myself.

There is definitely a need to see her again, but also a want. She is comforting, skilled and a very empathetic and thoughtful person.

At first, the sessions with Marlene felt very real, I have no other way to describe it. It was as if speaking to her and her responding the way that she did made everything feel too real and too big for me to handle. However, after having multiple sessions with her... it got better. That says a lot coming from someone like me who doesn't really have a lot of faith in the phrase "it gets better" because for many years it hasn't, in fact, it may have gotten worse.

That was until I met Marlene and had a few conversations with her. She opened my eyes to so many aspects in life that I didn't know I was intentionally overlooking. She made the emotional weight that I was carrying, and sometimes dragging, much more bearable. The sessions helped me a lot in a sense of finding peace within myself, and I know that may sound cliche in a sense, but that is exactly how it is. I have learned to let go and heal from situations that were and are out of my control because of the great advice and suggestions Marlene has given me.

She is such a darling soul and I truly am happy to have met her even if it were for a passing second. I love that she has instilled this theory in me that everything we see is a reflection of ourselves... because through that I realized that I too am a darling soul because I see it in her and what I see in her comes from what I see in myself, even if I never wanted to acknowledge it, hence teaching me how to love myself more and value the greatness that I hold within. I've started to take better care of myself emotionally, mentally, physically, and even spiritually, and it is all thanks to Marlene, and myself of course for actually putting in the effort to love and heal myself. I also love that she is so informative so I am constantly reassured that she knows what she's doing and I have nothing to worry about.

Another key element that stood out to me was... because I am Muslim, I truly appreciated the fact that she was so informative about Islam and the different aspects of the religion. That made me feel even safer, knowing that she sees me as a young Muslim girl who is still learning and growing and trying to find her way through this chaotic life.

I will forever be grateful for having met such a wonderful kind-hearted lady with an even kinder smile.

Kylie

Marlene is deeply intuitive and listens in a way that makes you feel truly understood. Her guidance comes from a place of integrity, compassion, life experience and an innate wisdom that often resonates as undeniable truth.

In every session I felt safe, seen and heard, which allowed real change to happen gently and naturally. Her genuine care for people is powerful and rare, and the impact she has had on my life is difficult to put into words.

I am forever grateful for the support and healing I experienced through her counselling.

There is no earthly way to share testimony about the work that sister Marlene Wilson does.  In fact she has many titles (for lack of a better word). Sister, is what I like to call her.

What she has done for my family members and especially myself could never be adequately expressed by words. My gratitude for her work goes beyond ‘thank you’.

She has helped me emerge gradually from the shambles of darkness  (helped me understand it and its roots and helped me start my healing journey - into the light., my light She taught me to learn how not to go back there.  Also, should I ever find myself there, I would be well geared, mentally, physically and spiritually on how to re-emerge, stronger fearless and freer.  In fact, this has been part of the journey that sis Marlene has helped me embark on.  My self-discovery journey.

I have never seen the work she does for the Life Choices' Health & Wellbeing programme but am one of ‘the children’ whom she has helped grow up via her private counselling work.  I say ‘children’ because, I had to re-discover myself  as one, in order to survive as the adult that I was and the one that I have become.

She has done more than just helped me navigate challenges, build resilience and make positive changes in my life.  She has helped find the chance and take, to continue building on my own. I have often stumbled but she has helped me become steadfast and save myself from myself and those who may have influenced me negatively. I am now the most positive person I know. I know there are others…

As I write this testimonial, I know for sure that I am trying to find the words and expressions that do true justice to how Marlene Wilson has helped me.

She is not only my life-coach but my sister by water and the Grace of the Almighty.

While most coaches, counsellors and such doctors in psychology and psychiatry have never really understand me personally to help me deal with my issues, sister Marlene has compassion that is fussed with professional and healthy set of all sorts of skills/tools or resources that go beyond her work being ‘business as usual’.  If I can call it business.  Then it is the business of using compassion and true empathy to help and support me as an individual and not use the one-size-fits all therapy etc, by the book-type of help, that leaves one feeling worse than they did before seeking help.  Today, I as I truly navigate this life, this world and all its orders, I know for sure that I would never have made it this far, had I not met her back in 2013.

These words do not even come close to describing the profound way this human angel has helped me. I love her with all my heart and pray that she continues to be blessed, with blessings soaring each day.

I use first person, because I speak for myself, but I know that there are thousands of people out there that may understand how difficult it is to put into words, the work, the love and the life-saving that sister Marlene Wilson has done for them, with them and about them. All that, just so that we could get our power back, our lives back and create them as they should be.  Now I walk around with superpowers that I never knew I have. My gratitude transcends Spaces never heard of in this world. – I will never come close to thanking her enough. But still, I humble myself to simply saying – Thank You my sister, for helping me find myself and my true path. You are one in a centillion.

Working with Marlene over the past 12 years has genuinely shaped the foundation of who I am as an adult. Her approach isn’t about fixing - it’s about guiding you back to yourself with clarity, strength and deep self-understanding. She always meets me where I am and helps me move forward. I’ve often said that meeting her changed the trajectory of my life - not because I was lost, but because she helped me know myself well enough to move with wakefulness and intention.

I’d recommend her to anyone wanting to grow, discover and challenge themselves - for their own becoming.

Yolanda

I believe that my experience with Marlene has been a journey. Not only for me but for my friends and family who have also been referred to her over a 10-year period. Her inputs understanding advice and coaching have helped me understand life myself and the dynamics of life and it's impacts and pitfalls.

Life happens for us and she has helped to solve and consciously raise awareness to some of life's mysteries and problems. Also helped me with living a balanced life. She is always available to assist and has no problem to tell it like it is and this helps one grow.

Simbulele

Sharing my past experiences with Marlene after I lost my father it was not easy to let it go. But since then, I am in better space emotional and I can share about it without crying anymore.

Marlene sessions bring the sense of relief, peaceful mind and the need to be a great person in life and to do your best in everything that you do. Sharing your thoughts, worries and fears, future plans and long-time achievements.

I highly recommend the sessions every human being needs to be in a space where you can speak freely that no one can judge you and ask you many questions about how you feel some type of way.

Cassidy

My time with Marlene was very informative and valuable. Her guidance helped me better understand and handle certain situations, both personally and professionally. She created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable expressing myself and her insights allowed me to gain new perspectives and develop practical coping strategies. The sessions were thoughtful and constructive and I walked away with tools that I can continue to apply beyond my time at Life Choices. I truly appreciated her patience, professionalism and genuine commitment to my growth.

Linda

I yet had another wonderful experience of life. Choices

I have been thinking about her teachings lately and how meaningful they meant to this day.

My life has never been the same since I met her. I am so grateful for the support and kindness.

The finger  means a lot now , yes life has not stopped throwing stones at me🤣🤣#BS.

I had sessions with Marlene during the lockdown in 2019 and I was pregnant during that time. I was introduced to Marlene by Unathi during Life Choices counselling sessions.

I have never met anyone one like her after. The body does not lie.

Thank you for your services I would definitely recommend you ❤️

#PS I was recently greeted as madam and I thought Mad Dam🤣🤣🤣

Laaiqah

Marlene and I have come a long way together. She has help me so so much in both my personal life and my work life. If it were not for her, I don’t know how I would have dealt with some family matters or how I would have overcome my fears.

I did not believe in myself and she helped me start believing in me and in my capabilities as a young woman, especially during the years when I started working for Life Choices. As our journey grew and I continued going to her for sessions, that was when I truly began working on myself with her help, support and guidance.

I am so grateful for her being such an important part of my life journey.

Charlotte

I just wanted to express my gratitude for the guidance you gave us on our journeys.

By you or through you or your guidance, you’ve taught me important things (I continue to make good choices and you are my biggest fan! But I know this has become somewhat, mutual 😜😊

I know that you’re my Forever-Thinker: You, without me sounding self-righteous but purely from a point of view of someone in utter bliss, gratitude or down right spoilt by all the love and more) I know you think ahead for me and mine. I can only speak for me but am so sure, there more of me-likes out there🤭). I make decisions to make sure my tomorrow, next month and next year are happy and full of possibilities. All because, I have had the best guardian of all time

Time is the biggest catalyst in it all but with the skills you exposed us to, we transcended into opening up to learn and healing even more. I say we, because I speak of my boys as well.

Timo is melting my heart with his words of kindness and his nature is just wonderful.

Henrik is such a Kind Young man. Thank you.😇

I wish you health, joy and peace albeit all and immense love I send to you💜💛💚💙

I had counselling sessions with Marlene and they were truly meaningful to me. She is very straightforward and honest — she doesn’t hide anything or sugar-coat issues, but tells you things as they are, in a way that helps you see and understand them clearly.

At first, her approach felt uncomfortable, but I later realised it came from a place of care and growth. She helped me understand that holding onto grudges and the past can hold me back from growing and encouraged me to let go and move forward. Throughout the sessions, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt free to talk about anything affecting my life, without being forced or directed to answer specific questions. Over time, I became completely comfortable opening up to her, knowing I could speak honestly and be heard.

I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone looking for genuine, effective and supportive counselling.

Melanie

I have had a few sessions with Marlene over the course of the last 10 years and can only speak highly of her. Even when these sessions were few and far in between, she managed to captivate me and strike a chord. Her ability to listen, ask thorough questions, prompt thoughts and most importantly be brutally honest and not shy away from tough topics or conversations really had a profound impact on me. I have visited her when I was 15 and also when I was in my late 20s and can only attest to this for each of my sessions. She is a heartfelt, compassionate, honest and excellent counsellor and I would recommend her to anyone willing and able to do a deeper dive into some issues or difficult topics they are facing and need support with.

Denicia

Your support and love over the years have been tremendous.

Youve always helped me through my most difficult times sometimes things were not easy to hear but my journey with you over the years has really shifted  my thinking and giving more love to myself.

You are an amazing human I cherish you so much

Asanda

Marlene’s sessions were great and deep sometimes other things ❤️😂 I get to realise them when I am having time with myself. Deep in a sense that start creating time for yourself so that thing will really sink.

I was really lost in 2025 and I was fighting a lot of staff, she was there actually teaching on how to take care of myself, love myself, choose me every day. You know the is a say that says when your cup is empty you have nothing to give, you need to fill your cup up before giving, other one saying before helping someone in a situation you need to first be out of that situation. One thing that is good about marlene she teaches you on how to do things she’s not only trying to remind or trigger you mind to remember how great you are and you can be, Shem helps to with steps to take to get certain results.

Today I know lot of things about myself and I’m still learning and I am enjoying it, today I love, care and respect myself Because of her, today most importantly I enjoy being with me 🔥🔥🔥 to think that I been helping myself , crying out to be better , pushing , achieving things for myself but I’ve never seen me and appreciate myself.

Marlene made me realise 😭😂 it’s crazy that , she made me realised that I’m looking for me 😭 I was chasing me in other people ,all the things I’ve said done for people, that was a mirror 😭😭😭😭

I can write a book with experience of sessions with Marlene; I can talk none stop . I would really recommend Marlene where ever I go. Sometimes I really wish  that some of my friends were part of life choices

Thalitha

Working with Marlene has been genuinely life-changing. From the very beginning, she has created a space where I felt safe, heard and supported in ways I had never experienced before.

Her compassion, patience, insight and ways of holding me accountable have helped me through some of the most vulnerable and difficult periods of my life. She has supported me in ways I don’t believe many others could have and her presence and guidance have made an immeasurable difference to my wellbeing.

I can say with complete honesty that the support and guidance I received through our work together has had a profound impact on my life and I am deeply grateful for the care, professionalism and humanity she brings to her practice.

She is an exceptional therapist and an extraordinary human being and I am profoundly thankful for the role she has played in my life.

Luke

My experience with Marlene has been nothing but life changing. Marlene has been a beacon of truth. Truly unique, I have never met someone as honest and speaking as much truth as Marlene. The term life coach gets thrown around often, but if anybody embodies that term, it would be Marlene.

Of course, you can only be "helped" and mentored if you are open to it and acknowledging the truth, being honest with yourself. Marlene makes this incredibly easy, because she knows the truth, can easily tell if you're lying or not being honest. Marlene is simply the best; I only have the best compliments for Marlene!

Anonymous

I used Marlene's service a while back. She came highly recommended by my GP. I had 2-3 very long sessions with her. She put me at ease from the start, worked through matters with me and I can positively say that sessions with her and her approach has made a significant impact to improvement in many areas of my life.

Amy

I would like to express my gratitude to Marlene for the counselling session, which significantly assisted me in addressing various challenges I have been experiencing. The sessions reassured me that by engaging in open dialogue with specific individuals, I would achieve a greater sense of peace regarding the outcomes.

Megan

From my very first session with Marlene, I was guided to better understand my triggers, cultivate the ability to meditate and look within for answers and embrace the power of being truthful with myself and my circumstances.

Her counselling has provided me with a safe and supportive space for healing, growth and transformation through constant reflection.

I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful change in their lives.

Farah

I had a few sessions with her when I was in High School. Although it was only a few sessions, she opened my eyes to many things. I spoke to Marlene about childhood traumas and things I was going through at the time, and one of the topics she touched on with me was about how easily trauma can be passed down, especially in early childhood and she explained the process with me in detail. Not only did it help me understand some things I was experiencing, today as a mother, it has also shaped me and helped me do better for my own child.

This is just a short summary of how impactful the sessions were with Marlene. After explaining and trying to find the root of the problems or what I was feeling, she also gave me some coping skills that I could implement. She also changed my view on counselling and therapy, whereas before I thought it was very taboo.

Nikilitha

My counselling sessions with Marlene were incredibly helpful and supportive during a time when I needed guidance and clarity. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt heard, understood, and encouraged to reflect deeply on myself and my experiences. Through her approach, I gained better self-awareness, emotional tools, and confidence to navigate challenges more positively. I truly valued her empathy, professionalism, and genuine care, and I would highly recommend her counselling to anyone seeking personal growth and emotional support.
