Counselling Psychology for the North West
Stephanie de Raay is a counselling psychologist working with adolescents and adults across the North West by scheduled video call. She is registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA – PS 0154580).
Based in the North West herself, Stephanie knows that access to registered psychology support can be limited in the province’s smaller towns. Video sessions make it possible to work with a psychologist without the long drive to a city practice — from home, school, or work, wherever you are in the province.
Areas we work with across the North West
Support is available to families and individuals across the region, including:
- Mahikeng / Mafikeng
- Lichtenburg
- Rustenburg
- Klerksdorp
- Potchefstroom
- Brits & the Hartbeespoort area
- Sun City / Pilanesberg region
Because sessions take place by secure video call, you can attend from any town in the North West — where you live in the province doesn’t limit access to support.
Who this is for
Stephanie works with adolescents and adults — whether you’re a parent seeking support for your teenager, a student, or an adult navigating a difficult season.
What counselling can help with
Common reasons people reach out include anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem, and adjusting to major life changes. For a fuller picture of how Stephanie works with teens, see the guide to counselling for teenagers in South Africa.

A note on safety

It is important to note that online therapy is not suited to everyone. For individuals who are in crisis, with self-harm or suicidal risks, or in need of in-patient admission, it is strongly advised that they seek therapeutic intervention with an in-person psychologist. If requested, I will be able to provide a list of recommended psychologists in your area. If at any time during the therapeutic process I feel that online therapy is no longer suitable or clinically adequate, I will refer you to a trusted colleague who can take over your therapeutic process in-person.
Therapy sessions are scheduled for 55 minutes and fees are aligned with current medical aid rates. Please note that this practice operates as a cash practice, requiring payment on the day of your session and I do not claim on your behalf from your medical aid. I will issue you with an invoice which you can then submit to your medical aid for reimbursement.
