Kgotso Precious Ditshego

My name is Kgotso Ditshego. I completed my BA Degree in 2014 and my BA Honours in Social Science in 2015. I then worked for 4 years while I did my BA Honours in Psychology which I completed in 2020. Upon completing my Honours, I realized a gap that I needed to bridge between the theory accumulated from University and the practical side of counselling. I decided to do the Humanitas Counselling Course to bridge that gap. I have recently completed the theoretical part of the course and now doing practicals as an intern Specialist Wellness Counsellor. I am passionate with counselling and assisting people with maintaining a good mental health. In today’s life where there are so many challenges, where most of our lives are a never ending rollercoaster as a result of a variety of factors such as economic and social factors, I would like to be part of professionals who play a role in providing assistance to help people cope better. We cannot run away from challenges, however, we can become equipped with mechanisms and ways that can empower us to face the challenges as they come. We can also learn mechanisms which will assist us to cope better during the storms, therefore ensuring that we are able to continue with our journey while paying attention to that amazing inner-self. I look forward to being the person who listens to you non-judgmentally and attentively while holding the space for you, because you deserve to be heard.
