Healing the root, not just the symptom.
Counselling for those ready to explore deeper emotional healing from childhood trauma and relational conflict to the integration of transformative experiences.
Karen Zimelka, MSc Psychology

I’m a qualified counsellor with a MSc Psychology and a passion for helping individuals navigate emotional pain, relationship patterns, and personal transformation. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, inner child healing, shadow work, and somatic awareness.
​
I believe that healing isn’t linear and that profound growth often comes when we learn to turn toward, not away from, our pain.
​
I offer counselling in Sandton, South Africa, and online, specialising in childhood trauma, relational conflict, and integration after alternative healing therapies.
My area of expertise lies in helping:
​
-
Adults navigating long-standing emotional pain.
-
Individuals in transition or crisis (divorce, grief identity loss).
-
People feeling stuck in repeating relationship dynamics.
-
Those seeking to understand and integrate transformative experiences.
