About Sonja Bouwer

I am registered with ASCHP as well as CPSC and work independently. I work with KSM Church as well as CPF (Community Policing Forum) in the Centurion area.

Working as a volunteer in State Hospitals, experience has taught me that we all see people and form our own opinions about their state of mind BUT if you take the time to talk to them you will see that there is much more to the exposed surface.

I have a passion for the unseen, the unspoken, the hidden.

Separating the experience of trauma into the brain-body-mind connection can help to simplify and normalize the trauma response and provides a framework for effective healing.

In the trauma healing process, I assist clients to slow down and notice the distinctions. The purpose of this is to normalize the experience of responding to trauma and to teach clients how to calm themselves down and to settle their bodies and minds.

In creating a safe environment without judgement or prejudice, I am available for anyone who would like to make use of the opportunity to communicate their innermost thoughts and feelings.

I make use of the person-centred approach and Victim Empowerment in the sessions. You have the strength in you to overcome the difficulties with which you are faced. You are given the supportive environment to express feelings and thoughts while receiving guidance to find the best possible solution for your life.
