Tsholofelo Ditsele

My name is Tsholofelo Ditsele, an intern counsellor with Humanitas. I have always believed that “health” does not refer to just our physical health, but that our mental health plays an important role in our overall health. This is a point that I am so passionate about getting across because mental health is so neglected in our societies, and I would love to see that change in the future. Besides being neglected, there is also a lot of stigma surrounding mental health and it is so good to see more and more people being brave enough to seek help 

I know that a lot of people feel that they have no one to talk to, and how hard it can be to carry everything on your own. I also understand how difficult it can be to open up to someone else. However, be assured that counselling is a good decision and that this is a safe space, where you are allowed to be your true self, with no judgement. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking help and it does not make you weak. Seeking help means you are taking charge of your life, your future and your happiness. The first step is always the hardest, but this could be the first step to a better, happier version of yourself and I would love to walk this journey with you. I hope to see you soon
