The Connect Group was founded on the basis of connection…Healing in one area or relationship is always linked to the well being in another and so we assess all of a clients holistically for the most thorough and effective outcomes.
The Connect Group was formally established in January 2019.
Many clients are unable to afford the expensive fees of most private mental health practitioners. Ultimately, a private practice giving careful consideration to the financial circumstances of families in South Africa was needed, thus the establishment of The Connect Group. We pride ourselves in offering counselling services across a diversity of financial brackets, with fees starting from R500 per session.
We have also always had a heart for further developing and training quality mental health practitioners in South Africa thus we also supervise junior therapists in-house contributing to the next generation of quality mental health practitioners. We offer supervision services externally too, making quality individual and group supervision accessible for fellow mental health practitioners.
As The Connect Group looks forward we are as excited to offer our usual bouquet of services including child & adolescent counselling, couples counselling, mediation, family therapy, group therapy, professional supervision and statutory services.
The practice now offers workshops too- we are excited to formally partner with The LifeMatters Foundation in planning, coordinating and facilitating their Teenage Awareness Programme- workshops for pre-teens, teens and parents themed in teen taboos and aligned with the CAPS Life Orientation Syllabus. For more information about The LifeMatters Foundation or to book a workshop for your class or community, please visit: https://lifemattersfoundation.org/programmes/lifeskills-portfolio/teenage-awareness
We like to give back at The Connect Group, so we donate a portion of the practice’s regular earnings back into the NPO Sector! Additionally we offer reduced NPO rates for both counselling and training services. Probono Services are offered too at the subjective discretion of the Practitioner in question.
